Understanding Tracker Mortgages
A tracker mortgage is a type of variable rate mortgage that tracks the Bank of England's Base Rate plus a percentage set by the lender for a specific period. After this period, it reverts to the lender’s standard variable rate. If the Base Rate falls, your mortgage payments decrease; if it rises, your payments increase.
Benefits of Nationwide's Tracker Mortgage
No Early Repayment Charges (ERCs): This allows borrowers to make overpayments or repay the mortgage in full without additional charges.
Flexibility: Without ERCs, borrowers can remortgage to a potentially lower fixed rate mortgage without facing extra costs, allowing them to adjust their mortgage as their financial circumstances change.

- Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: Capped at 60%
