Fixed rate loans allows you to fix the interest rate for a specified period, usually one to five years, sometimes up to 15 years. At the conclusion of the agreed fixed rate period the interest rate reverts to the standard variable rate, or you may renegotiate with the lender for another fixed rate term. The main advantage of these loans is that the borrower has a set monthly repayment. The disadvantages are that you are limited to the amount of extra repayments allowed during this period(generally there is a limit) and also if the borrower sells their home within this period they may incur a break cost fee.
