Choosing a Fixed or Variable Rate

Most mortgage providers offer either variable or fixed interest rates, and before you look for the best deal you need to decide which works best for you.

With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate remains the same for the duration of your mortgage fixed term. This means your monthly mortgage payments will stay the same, making it easier to budget each month.

With a variable rate mortgage, the interest rate can change depending on how the European Central Bank interest rates vary over time. The cheapest variable rates can be lower than fixed rate available, but your repayments could change.
