Our Home Mover Mortgage options
We offer two main types of mortgage: Fixed Rate and Variable Discount Rate.
We know that everyone’s circumstances are different, so we offer a range of products to suit individual needs.
- A Fixed rate means your monthly payments remain the same, so you’ll know exactly how much you’re paying each month
- A Variable discount rate means that your monthly payments could fluctuate, depending on the external market interest rates.
Each mortgage product covers a term of 2, 3 or 5 years.
After this period, your mortgage will automatically switch to Progressive’s Standard Variable Rate, which may mean that your monthly repayments increase. We’ll write to you before this happens, inviting you to talk to us about switching to another deal.
When you decide to use Progressive as your mortgage provider we want to make sure you’re always getting the product which best suits your needs.
