Representative example based on a fixed rate mortgage

A mortgage of £375,000 payable over 20 years initially on a fixed rate for 5 years at 4.38% and then at the standard variable rate of 7.65% for the remaining 15 years would require 60 monthly payments of £2,351.88 and then 180 monthly payments of £2,899.55.

The total amount payable would be £663,156.80 which includes interest and product fees of £1,124.

The overall cost for comparison is 6.5% APRC representative.

Early repayment charges may apply.

What is a lifetime tracker rate mortgage?

Lifetime tracker rate mortgages (also known simply as “lifetime tracker mortgages”) offer an interest rate set at a fixed percentage above the Bank of England base rate (or an equivalent). This means your rate should stay broadly in line with inflation while the tracker rate is in effect.

With a lifetime tracker mortgage the interest rate you pay above the BBR is the rate you pay until the mortgage is paid off.

Essentially, a lifetime tracker mortgage is like a variable rate, the difference being that the rate follows another rate (typically the Bank of England Base Rate, but it can also be the lender's standard variable rate).

A lifetime tracker mortgage is not to be confused with a lifetime mortgage which is a completely different product.

What are the alternatives to a tracker mortgage?

The most popular alternative to a tracker mortgage is a fixed rate mortgage. This offers a set interest rate for an introductory period (again, 2 years is common).

The advantage of a fixed rate mortgage is that you know exactly how much you will be paying each month. However, that certainty tends to come at a cost, with the interest rates on fixed rate mortgages generally being higher than the initial rate on a tracker mortgage.

Should you remortgage when the tracker rate ends?

As the tracker rate is usually only offered for a limited period, it may be worth looking at moving your mortgage to a new deal with the tracker period ends. Many mortgage lenders offer to cover standard remortgaging fees when you move your mortgage to them, making this more affordable.
