Interest Rates Options

Fixed Interest Rate

• ​With a fixed interest rate mortgage, your interest rate remains constant throughout the agreed-upon term.​

• Fixed-rate mortgages are ideal for individuals who prefer a consistent budget and want to safeguard against potential interest rate increases.

• This option provides stability and predictability, as your monthly payments remain unchanged regardless of fluctuations in market interest rates.​

Variable Interest Rate

• A variable interest rate mortgage, also known as an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), features an interest rate that can fluctuate over time.

• Typically, variable interest rates are linked to a benchmark interest rate, such as the Euribor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate), plus a margin set by the lender.

• Initial interest rates for ARMs are often lower than fixed rates, making them attractive to borrowers seeking lower initial payments.

• However, variable rates are subject to change, which means your monthly payments could increase or decrease based on market conditions.

Mixed Interest Rate

• In response to the volatility of Euribor rates, banks have introduced a innovative mortgage solution that blends the best of fixed and variable interest rates.

• With this approach, the initial period—typically the first two years—is fixed, providing borrowers with a stable and predictable monthly payment.

• This fixed-rate period offers reassurance during times of potential rate fluctuations. Following this initial fixed period, the mortgage transitions to a variable rate, allowing borrowers to benefit from potential decreases in interest rates.

• By combining both fixed and variable elements, this mixed-rate mortgage offers a balance of stability and flexibility. It ensures that borrowers can navigate through periods of uncertainty while still taking advantage of competitive rates, ultimately providing peace of mind throughout the entirety of the mortgage term.
