Tracker Rate Mortgages

Link your interest rate to the Bank of England base rate.

What’s a Tracker Rate Mortgage?

A Tracker Rate Mortgage sets your interest rate at a set percentage above the Bank of England base rate, then tracks it. That means your interest rate will go up and down as much as the Bank of England base rate does. 

 

At first direct we call our Tracker Rate a Lifetime Tracker. This is because the rate is booked for your remaining mortgage term, or until you decide to change your rate should a more suitable one become available.
