Tracker Mortgages

What is a Tracker Mortgage?

A tracker mortgage is a type of variable rate mortgage. The interest rate will normally track the Bank of England base rate, or the lender’s own base rate, at a set margin (for example, 1%) above or below it.

Tracker mortgage deals can last for as little as one year, or as long as the total life of the loan, commonly known as lifetime trackers.

Once your tracker deal comes to an end, you’re likely to be automatically transferred onto your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) and this is typically a higher rate of interest.

Tracker mortgage benefits

Borrowers can sometimes secure tracker mortgage deals with very low rates of interest, and a benefit of this is normally seen when the base rate reduces. This normally means your mortgage payments will reduce too.

A good idea while your tracker mortgage rate is low, is to take the opportunity to overpay on your mortgage. This will help reduce the overall capital faster and shorten the total length of time it take you to pay off your mortgage. This in turn will cut the amount of interest you pay on the mortgage overall.

Providing you have a traditional tracker linked to the Bank of England base rate, your rate is not dependent on the whim of your lender, it is only affected by changes in the Bank of England base rate.

This was from a client we have been working with for over 7 years now: "Many thanks for all your hard work and effort to obtain our mortgage offer! I can't tell you how it feels for us to have gone from having nearly 100k of debt and a 'hopeless case' to getting a high street mortgage (in less than 7 years!)

Justin was recommend by my bother who had his mortgage arranged with him a couple of years before. The set up process was very easy, Justin got me on the phone, found out my needs and financial details and then came back a couple of days later with three options for me to pick from. After than things went smoothly, Justin and his team were VERY helpful, they even helped fix a couple of problems caused by my solicitors. On the day of completion Justin was on the phone making sure everything was fine as were his team. I felt very well looked after and even decided to arrange extra life cover with Justin.

I would like to thank Justin from J F Financial for his extremely professional service. After my recent stage one interview which was to understand all aspects of my financial position he was able to tell me more about my finances than I knew myself. Justin gave me clear, decisive advice which enabled me to put things in place to secure future financial stability. I initially went to Justin to see if he was able to help secure an acceptable rate on the re-mortgage of my property as it had come to the end of its term and slipped into variable rate. This was something that I did not think was possible in today’s current financial market. Justin not only matched my existing interest rate but secured this rate for the next 5 years. From Stage one to completion of the mortgage I found this to be a very smoothly run and professional service and would not hesitate with recommending Justin from J F Financial to any of my family or contacts in the future.
