Early repayment charges
These are the charges that will apply to your mortgage if you want to overpay or repay early.
Can I make overpayments?
While in your discounted rate term you can make overpayments of up to 10% of your mortgage balance during every 12 month period without having to pay an early repayment charge.
This 10% overpayment allowance is calculated using the balance of your mortgage at the time it completes. Each 12 month period starts on the anniversary of your mortgage completing.
If you choose a new mortgage deal with us at any point we’ll use this balance and date to calculate your overpayment allowance.
Any amount repaid over 10% of your mortgage completion date balance will incur an early repayment charge equal to:
- 1% of the excess overpayment in year one
- 1% of the excess overpayment in year two
What if I want to repay early?
If you switch your loan to another lender, a different mortgage deal with us, or repay it in full before the end of the discounted rate term, you’ll have to pay an early repayment charge equal to:
- 1% of the outstanding balance in year one
- 1% of the outstanding balance in year two
