The Low-interest Rate Mortgage: Hiding more Costs than gains?

Low rates may look tempting, but they often come with hidden costs that could impact your long-term financial goals. What appears to be a great deal now might not be the most strategic choice for you. That’s where we come in—helping you uncover the true value behind your mortgage options.

The Hidden Costs Behind Ultra-Low Rates.
Many low-rate mortgages seem great upfront but often include costly Early Repayment Charges (ERCs). Over 65% of UK borrowers face these penalties, which can be as high as 5% of your outstanding balance. On an average £200,000 mortgage, this could cost you £6,000 just to make an overpayment or switch to a better deal. Low rates often come with restrictive terms that can hurt you financially in the long run.

Why Slightly Higher Rates Might Save You More.
Opting for a mortgage with slightly higher rates can actually save you money. Flexible repayment terms, the ability to overpay without penalties, and no ERCs give you the freedom to adjust as your financial situation changes. Many lenders allow up to 10% overpayments annually without charges—putting you in control of your mortgage costs over time.
How Expert Advice Helps Avoid Short-Term Mistakes.
Focusing only on rates can lead to costly mistakes. Brokers offer a broader view, identifying deals that suit your credit score, goals, and financial plans. Research shows that 75% of broker-advised customers are satisfied with their mortgage deals compared to just 59% of those who go direct. Expert advice ensures you’re not just chasing low rates but finding a mortgage that truly works for you.

I have used the Mortgage Genie for the last 8 years and 4 mortgage changes. Andrew Dougal is absolutely fantastic. I don’t need to worry about when my mortgage is due for renewal as he contacts me well in advance. I have a busy life and it can take me some time to come back to him but he’s so patient and helpful. He’s got me excellent offers, especially in the current climate, and offers me great advice and help ...

Been investing in property for a number of years, but these guys are hands down the best brokers we've ever worked with so glad we were referred to them! They have some incredibly in-depth knowledge of the industry, and have crafted some amazing solutions to match some specific needs. They've even helped pull it out the bag and help us get our dream home, which was no easy feat! ...

These guys were really helpful, especially given the changes in interest rate over last few months. They take a lot of hassle out of the process of selecting a provider, and getting a mortgage agreed in principal. They were then very obliging about renegotiating that rate as my completion date approached... If you like companies where you can pick up the phone and deal with a real person this is the mortgage broker for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a great credit score, and what factors should I consider?
chevron down
Credit scores are determined by a variety of factors and are measured slightly differently by different credit reference agencies. You’ll know you’re in the “great credit” ballpark by looking at your payment history (timely payments are essential), credit utilisation (keeping balances low relative to your limits), length of credit history, types of credit accounts you have, and how often you’ve applied for credit. Generally, a good score means you’ve demonstrated strong financial management, while a great score indicates excellent credit habits. If you’re still not sure, we can help with a free credit check.
What makes your service different from comparison sites?
chevron down
We’re a personalised service specialising in finding you specific offers for your great credit score, quickly and efficiently. With access to 75+ lenders and 10,000 products, we tailor options to your needs and goals—not the most advertised deals. Our expert guidance ensures every recommendation aligns with your financial priorities. If you like companies where you can pick up the phone and deal with a real person this is the mortgage broker for you.
I’ve used a broker before, but they didn’t flag the same low-rate deals I found on comparison sites. Why is that?
chevron down
Banks, building societies, and other lenders don’t always provide accurate or up-to-date information on comparison sites. You might find deals that no longer exist or aren’t actually available to you for reasons not shown online. Your personal advisor can explain why they’ve recommended one lender over another. If you’re set on choosing the absolute lowest rate, even if it’s a complex process or additional fees, they can advise you of any risks but ultimately respect your decision.
Does using your service cost me anything?
chevron down
No, our service is completely free for you! We receive our commission from the lender. For complex mortgages, a fee may apply for our advice and arrangement services, which we’ll discuss and agree with you upfront. The typical fee is £293, capped at 1% of the mortgage amount.
How quickly can I expect results?
chevron down
We start with a quick, 2-minute chat to understand your needs. With our knowledge of lenders and lending criteria, we'll promptly present your options. We handle everything from the initial application and underwriting to loan completion and ongoing support to streamline the process. We take care of it all and keep you informed every step of the way so whatever your result, we can optimise for your timeline.
Will you negotiate rates with lenders on my behalf?
chevron down
A stellar financial situation will really speak for itself, but there’s always wiggle room, right? Our access to a broad range of lenders and in-depth market insights means we can negotiate exclusive rates and terms for you.
Why should I have a long-term mortgage strategy and a broker?
chevron down
A mortgage strategy helps you make the most of market changes and align with your evolving goals. A long-term broker relationship means you’ll have someone who understands your financial picture and can access favourable deals over time.
Who is Check Your Mortgage Options? And who is The Mortgage Genie?

After speaking with many brokers, we choose TMG for their impressive knowledge, expertise, efficiency, and friendly customer service.
