Compare mortgage rates for your next home

If you’re planning on moving home, you need to understand how mortgage rates work and how they could affect your payments each month. You’ll have a choice between a fixed rate mortgage and a tracker rate mortgage:

Fixed rate mortgages

Your interest rate is fixed for the initial period of the mortgage deal. This means your payments won’t go up or down during this time. This gives you certainty to support monthly budgeting in the fixed period.

Tracker mortgages

Your interest rate is a variable rate that tracks or follows the Bank of England base rate. This means your payments could increase or decrease, however there are no early repayment charges should you wish to change your mortgage or make overpayments.

Your mortgage is secured against your home, which means your property may be repossessed if you fail to keep up
with your mortgage payments.
