Compare mortgage rates in the UK
A lower headline rate is not always lower cost overall. Here’s how to compare properly — and how to discuss current options with a UK adviser.

Estimates exclude valuation, legal, broker and exit fees unless shown. Availability, eligibility and final cost depend on lender criteria and your circumstances.

- Loan-to-value (LTV) — rates step up roughly every 5–10% of LTV.
- Property type — flats, new builds, ex-LA and non-standard construction attract premium pricing or lower max LTV.
- Income type — self-employed, contractor and Ltd director cases vary materially between lenders.
- Credit history — clean files unlock the prime tier; specialist lenders price higher for adverse credit.
- Fix length — 2 vs 5 vs 10-year fixes price differently depending on the swap-rate curve.
- Fees — a low rate with a £999 fee can be more expensive than a fee-free option on smaller loans.
The total cost over the fix method
Compare deals by total cost across the fixed period: monthly payment × months in the fix + product fee. This can produce a different result from sorting by headline rate alone.
Why the calculator uses indicative data
Lender rates change daily and depend on factors specific to you. Compare Mortgage Rates uses daily feed examples to help you estimate and compare total-cost scenarios, then can introduce you to a mortgage adviser who can discuss options based on your circumstances.
