What does Halifax offer?
Halifax is part of the HBOS plc and is the fifth largest Bank in UK. Their website offers a useful guide to buying your first home, including how to create a realistic budget, view appropriate properties and how to prepare for the actual move. Halifax offers three types of mortgage: Flexible Rate, Fixed Rate and Tracker Rate.
A Halifax Flexible Rate mortgage allows you to change how you make your repayments to suit your circumstances. You can repay your mortgage early by increasing your monthly payments – this in turn could lower the amount of money you pay in interest. You can borrow money quickly and easily, charged at the same rate of interest as your mortgage, and you can even reduce your repayments or take a repayment holiday.
With a Halifax Fixed Rate mortgage the interest rate you pay will stay the same, and you’ll know exactly how much you will pay per month throughout your fixed rate term.
Halifax Tracker Rate mortgages are tied to the Bank of England base rate and are charged at an amount just above this rate, meaning the amount you will repay will vary according to the movement of the base rate.
Also available: Halifax Loans, Halifax Credit Cards.
