3 year fixed rate mortgages explained
A three year fixed mortgage is a mortgage that keeps the interest rate fixed for the first three years that you have it, meaning you can know the exact amount you’re going to need to repay every single month until the deal ends. After the initial fixed rate period of three years ends, your lender will automatically transfer you to their revert rate, which may be a standard variable rate (SVR) or other managed interest rate, which will tend to be much higher. This is why most borrowers will want to make sure they remortgage to a new fixed (or discounted variable) rate deal when the old one ends, to avoid seeing a spike in their repayments.
Should I fix my mortgage for three years?
Whether three years is the best term for your needs will largely depend on the wider economic environment, as well as your personal circ*mstances. That said, three years could be the perfect amount of time if you want some repayment security and a reasonably-priced fixed rate.

Who is a three year fixed mortgage for?
Three-year mortgages are most suitable to people who wish to have certainty over their mortgage repayments for the medium term. The table above allows you to easily see how big a deposit/equity you will need for each mortgage, while the details tell you whether the product is for home buyers, remortgagors or both.
As with any mortgage application, you’ll want to make sure that your credit rating is as good as it can be – alongside whether you can afford the repayments, this is the main thing lenders will look at when deciding if you are eligible for their product. Keep in mind as well that if you apply for a mortgage and get rejected, your credit rating will likely be negatively affected, so make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you submit an application.
Should I speak to a mortgage broker?
Mortgage brokers remove a lot of the paperwork and hassle of getting a mortgage, as well as helping you access exclusive products and rates that aren’t available to the public. Mortgage brokers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and are required to pass specific qualifications before they can give you advice.

Advantages of a three-year fixed mortgage
The main advantage of a three-year fixed rate mortgage is that it can provide you with a longer period of repayment security than a two-year deal. Additionally, it means you do not need to search for a new mortgage as quickly and pay any fees associated with a new mortgage again after just two years. Also, in contrast to a five year or even a ten year mortgage, you would still be able to reassess your mortgage after three years, at which point the market might have changed enough that it makes sense to remortgage.
Disadvantages of a three-year fixed mortgage
If mortgage rates drop within the following three years, you could end up paying over the odds. However, even if this happens and remortgaging early would make a substantial difference, you usually have the option to switch earlier – on payment of a fee. The same fee tends to apply if you choose to repay your mortgage early, with the cost typically being higher the earlier you try to leave the deal, which is why it might be wise to keep these charges in mind when deciding which mortgage to choose.
Another potential disadvantage, depending on the deal you find, is that fixed rate mortgages tend to come with higher fees than variable rate products. Fixing for three years might also be unsuitable for those who are planning to move in the next few years, as not all mortgages will allow you to take the deal with you when you move, and those that do may charge hefty fees for the privilege – even more reason to compare mortgages before committing to a deal.

Pros and cons of three-year fixed rate mortgages
- Longer repayment security.You'll be able to budget reliably, for longer, knowing that your mortgage repayments won't change for three years.
- More competitive interest rates.Although the rates are not as low as two-year fixed rate mortgages, three-year fixed rate mortgages offer better interest rates than mortgages with a five-year fixed rate.
- Remortgage less often.You won't have to look for new mortgage deals as often as you would with a shorter-term mortgage.
- Higher arrangement fees.Fixed mortgages tend to come with higher fees than variable rate mortgages.
- No benefit from interest rates reductions.If the Bank of England base rate drops during your fixed term, your rate will remain the same and you therefore will not benefit from any subsequent drop in rates.
