How long should you fix your mortgage 🤔

Fixed-rate mortgages are still popular, but choosing how long to fix your rate whether for 2, 3, 5, or more years can be tricky. The best choice depends on your situation and what you want to achieve.

🔒 Longer Term Fixed Rate

If you expect to stay in your home for a long time and want the security of steady payments, a five-year fixed-rate mortgage could be a good fit. Just keep in mind that if interest rates drop and you want to switch deals, you may face early repayment charges.

⏱️ Shorter Term Fixed Rate

A shorter-term fixed-rate mortgage might work better if you want the option to switch products or lenders when better rates come up. Just remember, rates could also rise in the short term.

🏡 Making a Final Decision

Ultimately, the length of time you fix your mortgage should match your own needs and plans.

Speaking with an experienced mortgage adviser can help you find the best option for your situation.

🏡 Understanding Your Mortgage Options

The mortgage market can be very confusing at the best of times, but with mortgage rates rising 📈, it's understandable that you may be considering holding off until things calm down before looking for a new deal.

Unfortunately, holding off carries its own risks. If interest rates don't fall and continue to rise, or if you move on to the variable rate when your current deal ends, you could find yourself paying more than you need to.

What other options do you have? 🤔

Apart from looking at short and long-term Fixed and Tracker rates or extending your repayment term in the hope that rates fall back by the time your deal ends, you could consider using our ⭐ Free Rate Tracking Service ⭐

Our unique Free Rate Tracker Service allows us to secure a mortgage deal for you now, before rates increase further, with the option to switch to a better deal if interest rates fall before your new deal commences ✅

For anyone with a mortgage which is due to end between now and the end of the year, our advice is to start preparing now.

First Homes Fund Scotland: 2026 - £10,000 Mortgage Help for First-Time Buyers

The new Scottish First Home Fund opened on 24 June 2026.

This scheme is for first-time buyers in Scotland and offers up to £10,000 towards a deposit on a home worth up to £300,000.

With this scheme, the Scottish Government owns a share of your property.

You do not need to make monthly payments, and there is no interest on their share.

The Government’s share is usually repaid when you sell your home.

While the First Homes Fund can help with your deposit, shared-equity schemes are not right for everyone. You should check how it works and whether it fits your needs.

🏡 Are Tracker Rate Mortgages Worth Considering?

With interest rates changing often, many homeowners are starting to ask about tracker mortgages.

A tracker mortgage is linked to the Bank of England's base rate, plus a set percentage.

This means:

📉 If rates go down, your monthly payments could decrease.

📈 If rates go up, your monthly payments could increase.

Tracker mortgages can be a good choice for people who are comfortable with some uncertainty and want the chance to benefit if rates go down. However, they are not right for everyone.

The best mortgage is not always the one with the lowest starting rate. It is the one that fits your situation, budget, and future plans.

📩 If you are thinking about your next mortgage move, get in touch for personalised advice, and we will look at your options together.

When does your fixed rate end? 👀

It’s important to know when your current mortgage deal ends.

If your fixed rate ends and you don’t set up a new deal, you’ll usually move to your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is often much higher than your current rate.

The good news is you can usually lock in a new mortgage rate up to six months in advance. This gives you time to plan ahead and possibly avoid higher monthly payments.

It’s also worth remembering that your current lender might not have the best deal available. Comparing offers could save you money and help you find a deal that better fits your needs.

If your fixed rate is ending and you’d like to know your options, feel free to get in touch.

First-time home buyers are now older than before 🏡

Buying your first home is much harder now than it was 10 or 15 years ago.

In the UK, most first-time buyers are now in their mid to late 30s, rather than their 20s as in the past.

Why is this change happening?

📈 House prices are rising faster than wages.

💷 Higher rent makes it harder to save for a deposit.

🎓 Student loans and other financial commitments make things even more challenging.

🛒 The general cost of living is also putting pressure on buyers.


Because of these factors, many people feel that owning a home is becoming less achievable.

✅ We support first-time buyers by helping them understand what they can realistically afford.

We help them find lenders that fit their needs.

We also help them discover options they might not know about.

We provide a clear, stress-free plan to help them move forward.


📱 If you’re thinking about buying but feel stuck or unsure where to start, give us a call.
