Capped rate mortgages set a maximum interest rate figure that you will pay, over an agreed period. This period varies according to the particular lender and deal on offer.Should interest rates rise substantially beyond the figure agreed, you need not worry as you will only pay at the capped figure. And should interest rates fall, you receive the benefit by paying at the prevailing rate only if it is below your capped rate.
This type of mortgage became more popular in the UK after the 1980s and the years of very high interest rates. For borrowers it provides a reasonable safety net whilst allowing them to benefit in the good times when interest rates are low.
Interest rates on a capped rate mortgage may not be as low as those on a fixed rate mortgage, although as mortgage deals are changing on a daily basis it pays to look at both options and pick the one that's best for your particular circumstances.
