Libor Rate

Hi.......I have a question about the LIBOR rate if anyone can help please....My variable mortgage rate is linked to the LIBOR rate and can never be more than 2% above it. At the time of writing the LIBOR rate is set 2.21% but my mortgage company tell me that their LIBOR rate is 3.99%. My question is can they set a different LIBOR rate to suit themselves rather than the current reported set rate............

  • Most LIBOR related mortgages use the 3 month LIBOR. And usually review their LIBOR rate quarterly in March, June, September & December. The date in the month when it is set varies from lender to lender.

    Effectively what you have is a series of 3 month fixed rates, some quarters the rate may go up and sometimes it may go down.

    Who is your lender?
