Fixed Rate or Variable – Which is Best ?
The most important thing to remember is with a fixed rate, you have the safety of knowing exactly what your mortgage repayments will be for a certain period of time. You will not be affected by sudden increases )or decreases. With interest rates at their lowest for many years – it is likely that variable rates will increase during the next 5 to 10 years.
Over the past several years it was usually the case that variable mortgage rates were often lower than fixed rates – but right now some of the fixed rate deals are at their cheapest ever and some are lower than variable rates.
How much of a mortgage can you get?
Lenders use different ways to work out the amount of money they will lend you for a mortgage, and they have to follow certain Central Bank rules when doing this. Some will lend you a multiple of your annual income. Others will try to make sure that your monthly mortgage repayment doesn’t go above a certain percentage of your take-home income or that you have a certain amount of money to live on each month after all your commitments are met.
