re: Maybe I’m wrong and that’s OK. But I need to understand the ethics behind this mortgage.

We have engaged a lender. They pre approved. We signed the loan documents. There was a rate fixed. It was never made explicitly clear this was floating. If I had no inquired, they’d have let it float until day after appraisal.


The rate they proposed for you was fixed, unlike a variable rate. You have the power to lock and have to tell them. Should they have explained that to you, yeah. But I think you might be conflating fixed rate product vs locking in your rate. Two totally different things.

All I’m saying. I understand fixed vs variable rates and how they’re applied relative to mortgages. I’m uninformed not uneducated.

Very true, but who is offering ARM'S now? On the initial approval the loan officer should have stated that the rate is floating and the OP should have the option to lock or float.

If that conversation didn't happen that's on the loan officer (but ship has sailed).
