How do fixed mortgage rates work?
Unlike discounted or tracker mortgages, fixed rate mortgage rates stay the same for an agreed period. This means that your interest will neither rise nor fall until the end of the fixed term (usually 1-5 years). Fixed mortgage rates are slightly higher than with a variable deal, but they do give you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what your monthly repayment will be each time.
Pros and cons of a fixed mortgage rate...
If (and when!) interest rises, your monthly repayments will remain the same
However - if interest falls, you won’t see the benefit
First time buyers, young families, single homeowners and people with an erratic income often favour a fixed rate because it allows them to budget more effectively
If you expect there to be changes in your financial circumstances in the near future, a fixed rate could be best option
When your fixed term ends, your payments may rise as you switch to the normal variable rate
