Fixed rate home loans: Fixed rate home loans are commonly used in the UK. As the name refers, the interest rate of fixed rate home loan is fixed and constant. It means a UK borrower has to pay same rate of interest during the repayment period. Mainly such kinds of loans are protective from any change. It means if the rate of interest suddenly hikes up in the market, then it can not affect the fixed rate.

Adjustable rate home loans: In this option, the interest rate and the monthly payment become low at the beginning. But the rate of interest in this option can change during the loan period. The interest rate may increase or decrease. And a UK borrower has to make the payment in accordance with the changed interest rate.

On the other hand, in balloon rate of home loan the repayment period is decided for 30 years. Normally, two types of balloon rate of home loans are available in the UK loan market- 7/23and 5/25. In this option, a borrower in the UK can pay off the entire amount 5 or 7 years or he also can rearrange the entire home loan. Here 7 and 5 are indicating the period before the date of balloon maturity and 23 and 25 are indicating the rest of the term.

At the same time, a borrower should keep in his mind that there may be some extra fees and charges associated with his loan. These fees could be closing costs, agent fees etc. So, at the time of availing loan, a borrower should be sure that which portion of the cost he is borrowing and which portion he is paying as extra fees.
