What are discount and tracker mortgages? Discount mortgages offer a discount off the mortgage lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) for a specified period of time, e.g. 1.5% below the mortgage lender’s SVR. Like tracker mortgages, discount mortgages tends to suit those who are looking for the best mortgage deal, but who can absorb any increases to their monthly payments. Discount mortgages are often amongst the cheapest available deals.
Tracker mortgages shadow the Bank of England base rate for a specified period of time, e.g. 0.03% above base rate for 2 years. This type of mortgage tends to suit those who are looking for the cheapest mortgage deal, but who have enough scope in their budget to cope with any increases caused by changes to the base rate.
