What is a Rate Lock Agreement?
A rate lock agreement is a legla document between a lender and borrower that locks in an interest rate for a certain amount of time. The idea behind the lock is to ensure that both parties agree on the interest rates, as well as the terms of repayment before agreeing to any loans.
Rate lock agreemnts are typically used by people who want certainty on their loan repayment amounts. They are commonly seen in mortgages when you buy a house. This agreement provides borrowers with peace of mind and protection from potential increases in mortgage interest rates which fluctuate due to economic conditions.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
