A hybrid mortgage offers both a tracker and a fixed rate. Those taking out such a deal have the best of both worlds. Lenders lowest mortgage rates are pegged to the BOE base rate for the first 1 or 2 years, after which the deal reverts to a more secure fixed rate for the remainder of the mortgage term.
