Which mortgage is best for me?
When you're looking for a home, not just any house will do. It's the same with mortgages... Beyond just interest rates and terms, it's important to think of your own personal situation.
We offer a range of mortgages you can compare, to help find what’s right for you.
Fixed rate mortgage
You pay the same amount for a set period. The interest rate is fixed for a set period as well as your monthly payments - e.g. two or five years. This means you'll know exactly how much your payments will be, helping you plan a monthly budget.
Tracker rate mortgages
For a set period, often two, three or five years, your interest rate will rise and fall in line with another interest rate, typically the Bank of England base rate. If the rate drops, your monthly payments reduce, but, if the rate goes up, your mortgage payment does too.
Standard variable rate
When your initial mortgage deal is over, the standard variable rate (SVR) is the rate you'll move to, changing your mortgage payments. If you don't want to go onto the SVR, you can shop around towards the end of your current deal, for another mortgage.
Interest only mortgage
With an interest-only mortgage your repayments only cover the interest on the amount you borrowed. This means you pay the full amount back at the end of the mortgage term in one lump sum. Eligibility criteria and specific terms and conditions will apply for interest only mortgages.

What type of mortgage do I need?
There are several different types of mortgage depending on the property you are purchasing and your situation. It is important to compare mortgage types before deciding which best suits your needs. Find out more about different mortgage buyer types.
First time buyer
If you are new to the housing market you are generally considered a first time buyer. If you have never owned a property before you might qualify for lower deposit mortgage products, such as our 95% mortgages.
Remortgage
Remortgaging is used if you are coming to the end of your current mortgage deal. You can remortgage with the same lender but it is also a chance to move to a new lender. You might find a new deal that suits your needs better.
Moving home
Understand the mortgage options available to you when you are moving home. You might need to pay stamp duty when moving home and there may be additional costs to consider. Find the best mortgage for you when moving home.
Buy to let
Buy to let mortgages are for a landlord who wants to buy a property to rent out. The application is different to residential mortgages. Learn about your mortgage options if you're buying a property with the intention to rent it out.
Mortgage calculators
Our mortgage calculators give you an indication of the type of mortgage you could get, based on your personal details and current circumstances.
Agreement in Principle
If you've found the property for you, the next step is to get an AIP (sometimes called a Mortgage in Principle). It will show you if we may be able to lend you the amount you need.

How much can I borrow for a mortgage?
