Fixed-rate mortgage examples
Compare the initial period, fee and LTV basis together. A lower indicative rate can still cost more overall once fees and loan size are included.
| Example product | LTV basis | Rate and fee example | Initial period | Main comparison point | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-year fixed purchase | 60% LTV | 4.89% indicative; £999 product fee example | 2-year initial period | Compare shorter payment certainty against remortgage timing and any early repayment charge. | Suitable products depend on deposit, affordability, credit history and property criteria. |
| 5-year fixed purchase | 75% LTV | 4.72% indicative; £0 product fee example | 5-year initial period | Compare longer payment certainty against product fee, flexibility and plans to move. | Longer initial periods may not suit borrowers who expect to change mortgage or property sooner. |
| 2-year fixed purchase | 90% LTV | 5.42% indicative; £0 product fee example | 2-year initial period | Compare monthly payment, fee and total initial-period cost for a smaller deposit. | Higher LTV lending can have tighter criteria and fewer available products. |
| 5-year fixed purchase | 80% LTV | 4.86% indicative; £999 product fee example | 5-year initial period | Compare any product features with the normal rate, fee and eligibility checks. | Energy-efficiency criteria and property evidence can vary by lender. |
