Standard Variable Mortgage

What is a Standard variable Mortgage?

A Standard Variable Mortgage is based on the Bank of England’s lending base rate. Every time the lending rate increases, the lender’s standard variable rate increases similarly. If the
lending rate decreases, so too does the standard variable rate. But these mortgages don’t
follow the Bank of England exactly; many mainstream lenders set their rates a couple of
percent higher than the base rate, whereas others might set theirs slightly lower in order
to generate custom.

Is a Standard Variable Mortgage the right mortgage for me?

This all depends on your circumstances and requirements. There are many types of Standard Variable Mortgage, including those who specialise in lending to those with poor credit histories.
