Czech mortgage glossary

Variable rate

Interest rate that changes with market developments (typically PRIBOR plus margin). The payment can then change every month or quarter. A variable rate is usually lower than a fixed rate during stable or falling rate periods, but riskier. In Czechia, only a minority of clients choose it — most prefer the certainty of a fixed rate.
