Which country, if you don't mind me asking?

No. That’s not the case. I had a fixed rate mortgage in the UK. Now I have one in Ireland. Two of my colleagues have taken them in the last couple of months. They’re very common. But.. in both countries such terms are for a relatively short period. E.g 5 years fixed changing to SVR for the remainder of the loan. I haven’t heard of loans fixed for the entire duration. I would’ve got one if I had found it.

I can’t speak for the rest of Europe. It’s a big place you know.

As others have said, "Europe" doesn't exist for things like mortgages.

In France, for example, the standard mortgage is fixed rate, for the whole duration of the loan, which is usually 20 to 25 years.

In the UK it's very common, albeit not for 30 years - more often 2, 5, or 10. See e.g.

(In 2020, more than half of new mortgages were fixed for 5 years or more.)

It's not in the Netherlands. Practically everyone has fixed rates here. Especially in the past few years with the low interest rates.

what? I got a fixed below 1% rate in Belgium last year. With historical lows on those everyone gets a fixed rate.

Uhm my brother just signed a fixed rate of 1.8% for the entire 20 year duration of his home loan. Belgium.
