Variable mortgages

Our Standard Variable Rate (SVR) is currently 7.99% variable (effective from January 1st for existing customers). There may be a limit on how low your interest rate can fall. This is called an ‘interest rate floor’. The interest rate floor applicable to your loan will be specified in your loan documentation.
