What is a tracker mortgage?

A tracker rate mortgage follows the ups and downs of the interest base rate. Usually, your rate is set at an agreed percentage above the base rate (for example 0.5% above) for a set period. Some tracker mortgages last for the entire mortgage term (lifetime trackers), but most have a specified tracker period before returning to fixed or standard variable rates.

Is a tracker mortgage right for you?

A tracker mortgage isn’t right for everyone. It’s worth considering the following advantages and disadvantages:

 If the base rate falls, then your interest payments are reduced

 There is usually a cap on how much more you will pay above the base rate

 However, if the base rate rises, then so do your monthly payments

 Your deal may have early repayment or switch penalties

 Some tracker mortgages have a set minimum interest rate, meaning that if the base rate falls below this you won’t see the benefit
