Variable rate: companies usually change their Standard Variable Rate (SVR) in line with the BEBR.

TIP: A right-to-buy mortgages UK company's SVR is high, which is activated after your initial low rate offer period is over.

Fixed rate: If you need your payments to stay at a fixed amount for a set period of time, usually two years, these types of right-to-buy mortgages UK are set for a short initial period, and usually revert to the company's SVR.

TIP: When interest rates fall: Try and leave your repayments the same as prior to the rate drop. This means you will actually be paying more than the minimum each month. You'll repay your loan years sooner. Check whether your mortgage company has pre-payment penalties.
