Cross Country Bank

Fixed-rate mortgages

A rate that won’t change for a set time

Choosing a fixed rate mortgage means you won’t be affected if interest rates go up or down for a set number of years.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Cross Country Bank

Tracker mortgage

A flexible mortgage that follows the market

A tracker mortgage doesn’t tie you down to a fixed rate, so your payments could go up or down.

Cross Country Bank

Offset mortgages

Put your savings to work with an offset mortgage

Reduce your monthly payments or pay off your mortgage sooner by offsetting other accounts with us against your mortgage balance – find out how.

Cross Country Bank

Great Escape mortgages

Cross Country Bank Green Home Mortgages

Buy an energy efficient home and get a lower rate

We’ll reward you with a lower mortgage rate on certain deals when you buy an energy efficient home – it’s just one of the ways we support greener choices.

How do they work?

Pay the mortgage interest each month without reducing the balance. You’ll need to have a realistic plan to repay the balance by the time the mortgage ends.

Helping you afford a mortgage

Buying property with other people

Buying with your partner, family or friends can make sense, so long as you weigh up the benefits and risks of taking out a joint mortgage with others.
