Tracker Mortgages - What You Need To Know
A tracker mortgage is a type of loan that will follow the changes in base rate, with a constant differential being maintained between the current base rate, and the mortgage interest rate.
Being linked to the Bank of England (BoE) base rate, in the way that tracker mortgages are, this causes them fluctuate throughout the term of the mortgage and will alter depending on the interest rates of the current market.
Advantages
One clear advantage of a tracker mortgage over a fixed rate mortgage is that, with a tracker, you will usually be able to benefit from a lower payable interest rate than you may do with the fixed alternative from the same lender.
As well as this, you will also benefit from all of the drops in the BoE base rate as they will always lead to an equivalent fall in the interest rate of your tracker mortgage.
Disadvantages
However, a tracker mortgage may not always be the best option when taking out a loan to purchase a home as, like with all types of mortgage, there are some disadvantages.
Firstly, you may encounter early redemption penalties with a tracker mortgage, which could in fact extend further than the end of your discounted period. This will mean that you will be unable to change your mortgage during the ‘early redemption penalty period’ without incurring a fee for doing so. This fee could be up to as much as the value of six months worth of repayments.
Another disadvantage would be that the BoE base rate can, at times, be unpredictable. This means that in the event of a rapid increase in the base rate, you will see an equal increase in the value of your monthly payments. This can be a problem when trying to manage a budget as the interest rate can and will vary over the life of your mortgage.
As always, we recommend that you seek professional advice if you are unsure which type of mortgage is right for you and that all of the information provided above is for use as an overview only and should not be the basis for your mortgage decision.
