Variable Rate Mortgage

Variable Rate Mortgage

• With a variable rate mortgage repayments go up and down in line with interest rate fluctuations as defined by LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate - the interest rate at which Banks in London lend to each other).
• Generally a variable rate mortgage can be on a repayment or an interest only basis. The variable mortgage has a rate of interest determined by the lender. When interest rates change (or when the lender decides) the variable rate will also change. However, if the interest rates change the lender does not have to pass this on to the borrower unlike a tracker mortgage.

The variable mortgage is much the same as the tracker mortgage but is not for a fixed period of time. The lenders standard variable rate will usually be set at a certain percentage above the bank base rate but is not necessarily subject to follow the bank base rate and the lender can decide if, what and when any rate changes will be.

Similar in the case to tracker mortgages, bridging mortgage finance can also be taken out by those with variable mortgages looking to expand their business or home, purchase new properties or undertake alterations and/or cosmetic changes to the home. Perhaps you may just wish for a family holiday or a new car, bridging finance can be administered even for those with variable mortgages.
