The Step Down rate products will source as 5 year fixed rates
- The “initial rate” will show as the first step rate, and so the initial monthly payment will be based on this higher rate
- For an accurate comparison, compare based on “true cost over initial term” as this will be calculated using the higher step rate for the first 2 years and the lower step rate for the remaining 3 years
- To see the detail of each of the rates and the monthly payment – go into the notes section of “produce an illustration”.
The Step Down rate products will source as Stepped fix rates so please ensure that this rate type is selected in the filters
- The “initial period” will show as 24 months (as the first step is fixed for 24 months)
- The “initial rate” will show as the first step rate, and so the initial monthly payment will be based on this higher rate - If you choose to do a comparison based on “true cost over initial term” it will only be based on the higher first step rate for 2 years
- For an accurate comparison, compare based on “true cost over 60 months” (this can be input in “true cost & fee details section”) as this will be calculated using the higher step rate for the first 2 years and the lower step rate for the remaining 3 years
