What are Mortgage Rates?
Types of mortgage rates for fixed, variable and tracker mortgages
Mortgage rates for variable and tracker mortgages are typically lower than fixed rate mortgages. If you have a fixed rate mortgage you will pay a set amount each month because your interest rate is fixed at an agreed amount.
For a tracker mortgage, your interest rate will change according to the rates set by the Bank of England whilst the interest on variable rate mortgages can be altered at your lenders discretion so the monthly payments for both types of mortgages are not fixed.
Early repayment charges
If you decide to end your mortgage before you reach the end of your mortgage terms you can expect to pay large penalties called Early Repayment Charges which are typically 1- 5% of the outstanding mortgage.
Mortgage terms
The terms of your mortgage stipulate how long the mortgage will last. Most owners choose mortgage terms of 25 years however it is possible to arrange terms lasting 35 or even 40 years.
Other Mortgage Fees and Charges
Mortgages involve a number of additional administration costs including the: arrangement fee, valuation fee, stamp duty, survey costs, conveyancing fees and Land Registry fees.
Comparing mortgage rates
What is APRC?
The APRC is the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge which is the annual cost of the mortgage inclusive of all fees and charges. It is a useful way to see how charges will affect your total mortgage costs long term.
How mortgage rates are set
Your mortgage rate will be affected by a number of factors including: the size of the loan you want to take out, the amount of deposit you can pay, your credit history and more.

Frequently asked questions...
Do lenders charge fees, and will they be refunded if my mortgage is declined?
Do lenders charge fees, and will they be refunded if my mortgage is declined?
Lenders sometimes charge fees, and these may be payable on application and some on completion of the property purchase. Some fees may be refundable. Your mortgage broker will explain applicable fees – including if they are refundable - and when they would be due. Your mortgage broker will always provide you with an ESIS (mortgage illustration) for any mortgage they discuss with you, and this will clearly show the breakdown of any fees and their terms.
What different types of mortgages are there?
What different types of mortgages are there?
Fixed & variable rate mortgages
The interest rate you pay on your mortgage will depend on the type of mortgage rate you choose.
Fixed-rate mortgages require you to repay an interest rate that is fixed for a certain period of time. The fixed-rate will mean you’ll know exactly how much your monthly repayments will be for the specified period.
If you have more flexibility, you may want to consider a variable rate mortgage. A variable rate mortgage may start at a lower rate than a repayment mortgage. However, the rate you pay is likely to increase in future at your lender’s discretion.
Similarly, a tracker mortgage will follow the Bank of England’s base interest rate. When the Bank of England’s base rate drops or increases, so will your mortgage payments.
Repayment or interest-only mortgages
With a repayment mortgage, at the end of your mortgage term the total amount you originally borrowed plus the interest accrued will be fully paid off. If you choose an interest-only mortgage, the monthly repayments may be lower, but you will have only paid off the interest on your mortgage once your mortgage term finishes.
Flexible or non-flexible mortgages
For flexibility in how much you pay each month, you may want to consider a flexible mortgage which may allow you to take payment holidays or make overpayments and underpayments when you require.
Our experienced mortgage brokers will support you through the entire process and help you get a competitive deal for your financial situation.
How long can I borrow my mortgage for?
How long can I borrow my mortgage for?
On average, mortgages last around 25 years, but some lenders will allow a term of up to 40 years, depending on your circumstances.
When discussing the length of the mortgage with our experienced mortgage brokers, they will guide you to the most suitable term.
A good practice is to keep the length of the mortgage to a minimum whilst still allowing you to have disposable money for a high standard of life, as this will result in less interest being paid over the full term of the mortgage.
