Tracker mortgage deals
Trackers mortgages are a type of variable rate mortgage. Unlike other variable mortgages, the amount of interest paid is influenced by the Bank of England Base Rate.
Although tracker mortgages follow the base rate, they don’t necessarily match it. Instead, they tend to be a ‘margin’ above. Usually, each mortgage provider will add an extra percentage on top of the interest rate. For example, the mortgage provider may choose to charge the Base Rate plus 1.00%. So if the base rate is set at 0.5%, the interest rate charged will be 1.5%.
Everything you
need to know…
What are the advantages of tracker mortgages?
Perhaps the key benefit of tracker mortgages is that if interest rates fall, so will the monthly repayments. And since introductory tracker rates can be among the lowest variable interest rates on the market, you could secure a great deal from the start.
A tracker mortgage could also see you paying lower arrangement fees and smaller early repayment charges. In some cases, lenders will allow their customers to switch to one of their fixed mortgages if rates go up, without the need to pay early repayment costs.
What are the disadvantages of tracker mortgages?
If interest rates go up, your repayments will rise. This could see your monthly outgoings increase significantly, forcing you to reassess your budget and make cutbacks elsewhere. To ensure you’re able to afford repayments in the event of an interest rate rise, you lender is likely to conduct several financial checks.
When the introductory rate period ends, you may automatically be moved onto a different rate offered by your lender. This is likely to be higher than the amount you paid at the start of your contract.
