How To Get A 3 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage
The good news is that 3 year rates are currently very competitive.
- Certainty - By locking into a 3 year fixed rate you get peace of mind that your monthly repayments will not change.
- Low rates - 3 year fixed rates are as low now as they have been for a very long time.
- Interest only options - Some lenders are offering 2 year fixed terms on an interest only or part and part basis. This type of arrangement is offered by some lenders if the loan to value (LTV) is lower than a set percentage of the value of the property you are mortgaging. This is typically 75% LTV or less. There are a few lenders that will go up to 85% LTV but you will need to speak to our independent mortgage team to access these rates. Some lenders will require a part interest and part capital repayment strategy for any borrowing over a set limit e.g. 60%. So if you have a 25% equity in your property, a lender may require that 15% of borrowing is on a part and part basis with 60% fully on an interest only basis.
