APR shown is the headline rate for the stated product band. Green rates require BER A or B. Eligibility, stress-test and affordability rules apply. Always confirm with the lender or a regulated mortgage broker.

What to compare

  • APR — the total cost including fees, not just the headline rate
  • LTV band — rates change significantly as your equity grows
  • Term remaining — shorter terms often mean lower total interest
  • Cash-back offers vs lower rate — calculate the break-even point
  • Fixed term length — how long you want payment certainty for

Fixed vs variable

  • Fixed rates lock your payment for a set term — useful if you value certainty
  • Variable rates can rise or fall with ECB/base rate changes
  • Variable often starts lower, but there is no guarantee it stays that way
  • Consider how long you plan to stay in the property
  • Some lenders offer split products (part fixed, part variable)

Switching & overpaying

  • Switching can make sense if your rate is above current market levels
  • Factor in break fees or legal costs before moving
  • Some lenders allow limited overpayments without penalty — worth comparing
  • Reducing term vs reducing monthly payment are different goals
  • Always check with a regulated broker or your lender directly
