The mortgage for share to buy is a variable rate ‘Tracker’ mortgage, and while this means you can take advantage of falling rates, it also means that you pay more if rates go up. It is therefore important to consider the impact of a rise of, say, 1% in base rates on your mortgage. To take an example, the following table demonstrates the impact of an increase in base rates of a quarter, half, three-quarters and a full one per cent, on two borrowers – one with a £60,000 share in a mortgage; the other with a £75,000 share.
