Fixed Rate Mortgage Explained


One of the main types of mortgage product on the market so it is important to understand what it is and how it contrasts with a variable rate product.

A fixed rate mortgage means that you know exactly what your repayment will be for the agreed term. This means that you can budget your payments precisely because interest rate changes won't be reflected in your payments - hence a fixed rate. On the downside if interest rates go down, your payments won't be reduced.
