The lowest headline rate is not always the lowest total cost. Product fees, incentives, early repayment charges, loan size and fixed-period length can change the comparison. Read how we compare routes and limitations.
Monthly and initial-period estimates are illustrative and exclude valuation, legal, broker and exit fees unless shown. A mortgage adviser or broker partner can discuss your circumstances before you decide whether to proceed. Example source: Saved illustrative scenarios.
How to compare mortgage rates today
Start by comparing the total cost of each mortgage over the initial deal period, not just the advertised rate. A product with a lower rate may cost more overall if the fee is high or if it does not fit your loan size.
Compare Mortgage Rates is an information and introduction service. We are not a lender and we provide general information only and do not make regulated mortgage recommendations on this website. If you request a callback, we may introduce you to a mortgage adviser or broker partner who can explain available options.
What can affect the rate you are offered?
- Loan-to-value, based on your deposit or equity
- Mortgage purpose, such as purchase, remortgage or buy-to-let
- Initial period, including 2-year, 5-year and tracker options
- Product fees, valuation fees, legal costs and cashback incentives
- Early repayment charges and overpayment rules
- Income, credit history, property type and lender criteria
Why a live quote matters
Mortgage pricing and lender criteria can change. A live quote can take account of your circumstances, the property and the lender's current criteria. It can also show whether a lower headline rate is still competitive after fees and incentives are included.

Rate comparison with context
Compare Mortgage Rates is built around comparing mortgage costs beyond the headline rate. Product fees, term, loan-to-value and lender criteria can all change what is appropriate for a borrower.
