Variable Rate Mortgages

Understanding a Variable Rate Mortgage: A variable rate mortgage has an interest rate that can change over time, meaning your monthly payments may go up or down. This flexibility can be advantageous if rates drop but could lead to higher payments if rates rise.

What is A Variable Rate Mortgage?

A variable rate mortgage is a type of mortgage where the interest rate can change over time. This means that your monthly payments may increase or decrease during the loan term, depending on market conditions or the lender’s own rate.

This differs from a loan where the interest rate is fixed for the whole duration.

Your Home (or property) may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debts secured on it. Some forms of Buy to Let Mortgages and Commercial Finance are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How Does a Variable Rate Mortgage Work?

Variable rates are often linked to the Bank of England’s base rate or the lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). When these rates fluctuate, your mortgage rate and monthly payments adjust accordingly. This type of mortgage can lead to savings when rates are low, but may result in higher payments if rates rise.

What are the Risks and Benefits?

A variable rate mortgage offers flexibility and the potential for lower payments if rates fall. However, it also carries the risk of higher costs if rates increase. This option may suit borrowers who can handle possible changes in payments and want to benefit from potential rate drops.
