Fixed rate mortgage

A loan where the interest calculated on the debt is fixed for a given period of time and the rate payable will not change during that period regardless of changes in the lender's standard variable rate.

Fixed rates are of benefit to the borrower if variable rates go up and they are to the benefit of the lender if variable rates go down.
