Discount Mortgage

In the competitive environment among home lenders, there are a variety of offers which promise a discount off the prevailing variable interest rate . In other words, the interest rate on offer is set at a set margin below the standard variable rate.

This 'discount' may be for a number of years, but in some cases lenders have offered big discounts for short periods of time. e.g. 6% off your home loan rate for six months.
