Tracker Rate Mortgage Explained


You will probably know that there are various different types of mortgage product.

These include the variable rate mortgage, the fixed rate mortgage and indeed the tracker mortgage.

A tracker mortgage tracks something as you may imagine, but what?

The answer is that it tracks the bank of england base rate, and will move in line with it. So if that goes up then your repayments go up and vice versa.

It will usually track at a set percentage increase above whatever the base rate is; your particular mortgage lender will explain to you clearly how their individual tracker rate product functions.
