One of the most well known mortgage types is the fixed rate mortgage. Your mortgage is fixed at a certain rate over a certain length, usually between one and five years. Fixed rate mortgages will mean you don’t have to worry about fluctuations in the market and if you fixed your mortgage at a low rate it may be more beneficial over the long term.

The negative points for fixed rate mortgages is that it may be more costly to have a fixed rate mortgage should interest rates fall and you should take into account how the market may be performing when your fixed rate deal comes to an end. Many lenders are starting to offer five year deals, there is a good chance the market will be at higher rates since the market should have recovered and returned to similar pre-credit crunch lending rates.
