Like most other sliding scale mortgages that are not fixed-rate, LIBOR mortgages track a certain type of rate. Unlike tracker mortgages, which are anchored to the Bank of England base rate, LIBOR mortgages track the London Inter Bank Rate.
LIBOR mortgages, usually offered by self-certification mortgage lenders or sub-prime mortgage lenders, track the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate. This is the rate at which different banks lend money to each other in the money markets. Generally, LIBOR mortgages track the three-month LIBOR.
Unlike base rate anchored mortgages, when the rate can go up, down or be maintained once every month, LIBOR mortgages are adjusted following a review every three months. LIBOR mortgages are variable rate loans.
There is more LIBOR mortgage information online, in particular at: www.bba.org.uk.
