Libor-linked

A mortgage linked to LIBOR will be charged at a given margin over the Interbank rate (typically 1 to 1.5%) and is likely to be reset quarterly.

LIBOR rates tend to be more volatile than variable mortgage rates as the rate payable will change almost every quarter. They offer the customer the opportunity to pay a rate closer to the true cost of money. In a low interest rate environment they are likely to result in lower overall payments but will be more expensive in periods of higher interest rates.
