Become pre-approved for a mortgage | HSBC

 

Choose a mortgage from the following available options

The two most common types of mortgages are fixed rate and adjustable rate.

A fixed-rate mortgage ensures that your monthly principal and interest payment will be the same throughout the life of the loan. This is because the interest rate stays the same for the entire term of the loan.

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) offers the advantage of an initially lower interest rate. Changes in the interest rate at the predetermined change date(s) will depend upon the state of the economy, since the adjustments are tied to an index (such as the U.S. Prime Rate or the one-year London Interbank Offered Rate, more commonly referred to as LIBOR) that changes based upon economic factors. The three factors that will influence your monthly mortgage payment in an ARM at each change date are the index, the margin and the number of years to the maturity date.
