A Variable Rate mortgage is one that changes when the Lender announces interest rate changes. So unlike a Fixed Rate, if the mortgage rate goes up then you will be paying more each month. Equally if it goes down then you pay less.
Advantages
- Your monthly repayments will fall with reductions in interest rate
- Gives you flexibility
Disadvantages
- Your repayments will rise with interest rates
- Does not give you the ability to budget for repayments
