Fixed Rate Mortgage Advice
By Peter Kenny
One of the most important decisions you will make in your financial life is which you should get. For many people, the option of a fixed rate seems appealing. But what exactly is a fixed rate mortgage, and why do so many people choose this option? If you are new to mortgages then this article will let you know a little more about fixed rate mortgages and their benefits.
What does fixed rate mean?
A fixed rate is fairly straightforward, and does exactly as the name suggests. A fixed rate has an interest rate that remains the same throughout the term, meaning that your monthly repayments will remain the same, allowing for inflation of course.
Why a fixed rate mortgage?
Many people choose fixed rate mortgages because of the security and peace of mind that they provide. If you have a fixed rate mortgage, then you know your monthly repayments will not change, meaning you can budget effectively for both the short and long term. If you have a with a variable rate of interest then your payments can change depending on market fluctuations. This can leave you paying less, but often leaves you paying more each month. The best times to get fixed rate mortgages are when competition is high, and the fixed interest rate is lower than that of the tracker or variable rate mortgages.
Are there any drawbacks?

are drawbacks to getting a fixed rate mortgage. The biggest drawback is that the interest rate is usually higher than that of variable rate mortgages. The added security comes at a price, in that you have to pay more in interest over the length of the mortgage. Also, the ‘fixed’ rate is usually only fixed for a certain number of years, usually 2 or 3, after which the rate can be put up and then fixed for another period. This can mean that your will be cheap now, but in the future the rate could rise.
Who should get fixed rate?
Despite its drawbacks, there are many people that should definitely opt for fixed rate mortgages. If you are on a tight budget and have a fixed income each month, then you cannot afford for your payments to rise. Having a fixed repayment each month means that you know you can make the payment even if national interest rates rise. Also, if you can get a deal whereby the starting interest rate is lower than that of a variable rate or even the same, then opt for the fixed rate mortgage.
How to decide?
If you are still unsure about whether or not a fixed rate is right for you, then consult an independent financial advisor. They will be able to help you find the best deal, as well as tell you whether or not the base interest rate is going to fall or rise. This will determine whether a fixed or variable rate is best for you.
