    Monthly payments illustrated on a £250,000 repayment mortgage over 25 years; fees not added to the loan. Rates shown are for comparison — full lender criteria apply.

    Ten-year fixes serve a narrow but genuine need: complete payment certainty for a decade, regardless of what the Bank of England does in between. The lender choice is deliberately thin — typically around five active lenders at any one time — and that’s a reflection of the market, not a data gap. Most lenders find it difficult to fund a product they can’t reprice for a decade, so those that do offer it charge accordingly. The rate premium over a 5-year fix is the cost of the extra five years of certainty.

    Two factors matter far more on a 10-year fix than on any shorter term. First, the ERC schedule: charges typically slide from around 5% in year one down to 1% in year ten, meaning an early exit in the first few years is expensive relative to the loan size. Second, portability is essential to check: if you’re not certain this is a forever home, you need written confirmation the product is portable to a new property. A 10-year fix makes most sense for someone on a fixed income — pension, salary cap, or similar — whose overriding priority is a known monthly outgoing, and who has a high degree of confidence they won’t need to exit early.

    We ingest the data ourselves

    Most comparison tables license the same third-party panel. We build ours directly from lender product data, run through our own quality-assurance pipeline — so we sometimes list deals other sites miss.

    Frequently asked questions

    How these tables work, and how to choose between the deals on them.

    01Who does a 10-year fix genuinely suit?
    It suits borrowers for whom payment certainty matters above all else and whose life is unlikely to require an unplanned exit: those approaching or in retirement on a fixed income, households with tight budgets that couldn’t absorb a payment rise at any point over the decade, and buyers genuinely intending to stay in the same property for the full term. It’s a poor fit for anyone who might sell, separate, or substantially change their borrowing needs within ten years.
    02What do early repayment charges look like over ten years?
    ERC schedules on 10-year fixes are longer and proportionally steeper than on shorter terms. A typical structure runs from around 5% of the outstanding balance in year one, stepping down by roughly 0.5–1% per year to around 1% in year ten. On a £250,000 loan, a year-one exit could cost £12,500. This makes the ERC check and portability confirmation more important on this term than on any other.
    03Why are so few lenders offering 10-year fixes?
    Pricing a product you can’t reprice for a decade requires lenders to hedge long-term funding costs, which is more complex and expensive than for shorter terms. Most lenders find the economics unattractive unless they can charge a meaningful rate premium. The small active market — roughly five lenders — is the normal state of this segment; it doesn’t indicate a problem with the comparison or data.
    04Can I overpay on a 10-year fix?
    Yes — most 10-year fixed products include an annual penalty-free overpayment allowance, typically 10% of the outstanding balance per year. Overpaying within that limit reduces the balance without triggering the ERC. If you’re planning to overpay heavily — for example to clear the mortgage before the fix ends — check whether the annual allowance is sufficient, since amounts above it will attract the ERC.
    05How does the follow-on rate work after ten years?
    At the end of a 10-year fix you roll onto the lender’s standard variable or follow-on rate, which is almost always materially higher than any fixed product. Because the fix is so long, many borrowers will have taken out a 10-year deal specifically to avoid remortgaging, so the follow-on rate can catch people off guard. You can and should start comparing new deals around month 114, not month 120.
