What is a discounted mortgage?
Discounted mortgages work in a similar way to tracker mortgages. Both are variable loans, meaning that the rate can change during your mortgage term. However, unlike a tracker, a discounted mortgage doesn’t follow the base rate. Instead, discounted mortgages offer a reduction in the lender’s SVR (standard variable rate) for an agreed period of time. Usually, this is around 0.5 -1.5% less than the standard rate for a duration of 2-3 years.
Discounted mortgage pros and cons...
Discounted mortgages are good deals for people able to manage any fluctuations in their monthly repayments.
If interest rates fall, you will benefit from lower payments.
They are some of the cheaper available mortgages, but they are tied to a risk of increased interest rates.
People who prefer to know exactly how much they will pay each month will probably prefer a fixed rate mortgage.
Discounted loans only stay at the lower rate for a certain period (usually 2-3 years). After that the repayments will return to normal.
As with any variable loan or mortgage it is important to remember that payments can go up as well as down.
If you want to switch to another type of mortgage before your term ends, you may have to pay a charge.
