Your monthly payment amount could change
Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, a tracker rate can change. That means the amount you pay each month could go up if interest rates rise.
A flexible mortgage that follows the market
A tracker mortgage doesn’t tie you down to a fixed rate, so your payments could go up or down.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, a tracker rate can change. That means the amount you pay each month could go up if interest rates rise.
You can choose a tracker rate for a set period of years. After this term ends, we’ll switch your mortgage to our follow-on rate.
Alternatively, you can switch to a new tracker or fixed rate. If you change to another tracker rate during the initial term you may have to pay an early repayment charge. However, you can change to one of our new fixed rates without having to pay this charge.
You could pay more than your agreed monthly payment – we’ll tell you if there are any overpayment limits or early repayment charges before you take out any specific mortgage.
You can use our interest rate calculator to see examples of how much extra you’d have to pay on the amount you want borrow if interest rates changed, and discover why interest rates can change.
