A fixed rate mortgage means you won’t have to worry about your interest rate changing for a number of years. Even if the Bank of England changes the Base Rate, your rate stays the same during the fixed term. And because your rate doesn’t change, your monthly payments stay the same too. This is unlike variable rate mortgages, where your payments can go up or down at any time.
If you're looking for certainty and want to know exactly what you'll be paying each month, a fixed rate mortgage could be the best option for you. To compare it with other options, take a look at the different types of mortgages generally available.
You can usually choose the length of time you fix your mortgage rate for, most commonly between two and five years.
When comparing fixed rate mortgages, it’s worth thinking about how long you want to be locked into a mortgage rate for. Shorter terms offer more flexibility, especially if you’re considering moving home, switching your deal or remortgaging in the near future. If rates drop, it also means you can potentially take advantage of a lower rate sooner.
On the other hand, longer terms can provide extended peace of mind, protecting you from interest rates rising and higher monthly repayments for longer.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

*Initial estimated monthly payments are calculated based on the figures entered above on a capital and interest repayment basis.
**For owner occupier mortgages, the actual variable rate applied will be based on the value of your property relative to the outstanding mortgage balance (this is known as the Loan to Value (LTV)). However, this rate will never be higher than the Society’s Standard Variable Rate at that time. For further details about what happens to your interest rate when your mortgage offer period ends, click here.
We’ll instruct a mortgage valuation. This is for our own use only. The cost of the valuation is set out in the product features. Where you feel you need more information about the property including its condition, there are three additional types of survey available to you: Home Survey Level 1 (Previously known as a Condition Report), Level 2 (Previously known as a Home Buyers’ Survey) and Level 3 (Previously known as a Building Survey). You’ll need to decide which level is best for you. For further details please visit rics.org
Representative example
A mortgage of £227,000 payable over 35 years initially on a fixed rate for two years at 5.46% and then on our current standard variable rate of 6.24% (variable) for the remaining 33 years would require an initial payment of £2,265.74, 25 monthly payments of £1,213.08 and 394 monthly payments of £1,326.63.
The total amount payable would be £555,353.41, made up of the loan amount plus interest (£328,228.41), and an account management fee (£125 - paid upon redemption).
The overall cost for comparison is 6.3% APRC representative.
This representative example assumes mortgage payments are made on the 1st day of a calendar month.
The above representative example is for illustration purposes only and may vary depending on your personal circumstances.
A fixed rate mortgage is a mortgage where your interest rate doesn’t change for a set number of years. This means your monthly repayments stay the same during that time too, giving you stability and helping you budget.
Fixed rate terms are often between two and five years, depending on who you're getting a mortgage with and the products available.
Shorter terms offer more flexibility, allowing you to switch your deal and potentially take advantage of lower rates sooner. Whereas, longer terms offer an extended period of stability, protecting you from changes in your monthly payments if interest rates rise in that time.
It all depends on your personal circumstances. As with any type of mortgage, there are pros and cons but here are the key things to know about fixed rate mortgages:
Yes, you can usually leave your fixed rate mortgage early. But bear in mind, this may mean you need to pay an early repayment charge. Before you decide, it’s worth speaking to your lender to help understand your options and any costs involved.
When your fixed rate deal ends, you can choose to switch to a new mortgage deal. Depending on what’s available at the time, you can pick a new fixed rate deal for certainty in your monthly payments again or explore other options.
If you don’t choose a new deal before your fixed rate deal ends, you’ll automatically move onto a Standard Variable Rate (SVR). SVR isn’t generally the cheapest way to repay your mortgage and it can change at any time, unlike a fixed rate mortgage, so it’s good to review your options before your fixed rate ends.
