Spanish term or phrase: tipo frontal
"Hipotecas para compra de vivienda.
Ejemplo para un préstamo de 6.000 euros calculado con plazos máximos y diferenciales mínimos ofertados, con tipo frontal del 2,465%, sin comisión de apertura y tomando como referencia el Euríbor a 1 año publicado en el BOE del 06/04/2010 (1,215%)"

I'm guessing this is "initial rate"?
Many thanks

The period of an introductory or "teaser" interest rate on a mortgage or other loan. The initial rate period varies by loan type and can be as short as one month or as long as several years. Some loans, such as 2-1 or 3-2-1 buydown mortgages, have initial rate periods during which the interest rate increases incrementally.

Investopedia Says:
Borrowers should not make a loan choice based only on an initial interest rate. While a loan with an initial low interest rate can seem attractive, low initial interest rates lead to higher interest rates after the initial rate period expires. Borrowers need to understand the mechanics and risks of their choice of a mortgage or other loan. A careful analysis of loan rates and costs should always be performed.

first year's fixed (interest) rate / flat rate


Explanation:
Las condiciones que ofrece BBK son las siguiente:

Primer año interes fijo (frontal) al 2,65% resto del prestamo Euribor + 0,35

Existe la posibilidad de hacer una hipoteca con ?selección diferida del índice? Les suele sonar a chino, pero hay algunos bancos que lo ofertan desde el inicio. Consiste en fijar en el contrato el interés frontal (el del primer año) y en los años posteriores el cliente elige entre IRPH o euribor, o bien se le aplica automáticamente el más favorable.

Creo que con "fixed interest rate" sería suficiente. Saludos
