Welcome admin,

In a fixed rate mortgage, the payments towards the mortgage dues are fixed for a period of time. In UK, two year fixed rate mortgages are quite popular but people are now even looking forward to longer term fixed rates of five or ten years.

A variable rate mortgage is also known as floating rate mortgage. The interest rate will normally vary according to the changes in the base rate of the central bank and reflects cost changes in the credit markets. Check out the following link to calculate and compare between fixed rate and variable rate mortgage:

As far as taking loan in a period of economic crisis is considered, you should check out the rates and terms of the mortgage. Do some mortgage shopping before you take a loan. This will help you in getting a fair idea of the market situation. If you find that the rates and terms suit you, you can then apply for the loan.
