Representative Example

A mortgage of £150,000.00 payable over 15 years initially on a variable rate, currently 5.34% for 2 years and then on our current standard variable rate of 8.64% for the remaining 13 years would require 23 monthly payments of £1,217.35 and 156 monthly payments of £1,461.70; plus one initial interest payment of £656.56.

The total amount payable would be £259,035.81 made up of the loan amount, plus interest and fee(s) totalling £109,035.81. This includes Application Fee (£199), Legal Fees (£255), Valuation Fee (£252), Chaps Fee (£25), Completion Fee (£1,499) and Redemption Administration Fee (£125).

The overall cost for comparison is 8.2% APRC representative.

Will the interest rate change?

A discounted variable rate mortgage is discounted from our Standard Variable Rate (SVR), and as a result, the initial rate will go up or down when we change our SVR and by the same amount. We choose when to change our SVR depending on a variety of factors and our SVR is not directly linked to the Bank of England Base Rate (BBR). If the interest rate goes up, we will write to borrowers in advance to inform them of the intended changes.

Will I be charged if I repay my mortgage?

Borrowers can make overpayments between 1 January and 31 December each year during the discounted rate period of up to 10% of the original loan amount without incurring an Early Repayment Charge.

Any lump sum payments or regular overpayments received in a single calendar year, which in total exceed 10% of the original loan amount will incur an Early Repayment Charge on the amount of the excess. The Early Repayment Charge is a percentage fee of your current balance.

Any Early Repayment Charge will be waived if a new consecutive mortgage for at least the amount outstanding at the time of redemption is taken out with us. If a new mortgage for at least the amount outstanding at the time of redemption is taken out with us within 3 months of full repayment then any early repayment charge will be refunded.

How much are valuation fees?

The fee charged is normally based on the purchase price of the property at the time of inspection. Where the purchase price is preferential or where the price is not known at the time of inspection, the fee charged will be based on the valuation figure. Unless otherwise stated in the product features, a basic valuation fee is payable by the applicant(s).

You can find out more including the fee scale in our Mortgage Valuation Fees document.

Definitions

1 The Initial Rate is the rate available during the initial term of the mortgage. Once the initial rate term has expired, the mortgage will either revert to our Standard Variable Rate (SVR), or a follow-on rate that is a discount off our SVR.

Our SVR is set by us and is currently 8.64%, as a variable rate it may go up or down. Our follow-on rate is 1.74% below our SVR (currently 6.90% variable) and will go up or down with changes to our SVR.

2. The Overall Cost for Comparison is given as the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) and includes all charges incurred relating to the mortgage. The APRC is intended to help you as a borrower compare the interest rates on different products.

3. Like all other mortgage lenders, we will allow you to borrow against a proportion of the overall property value. This is known as Loan to Value (LTV) and is expressed as a percentage. For example, if you want to purchase a property at £100,000 and you would like to borrow £85,000, then you will need a mortgage available at 85% Loan to Value (LTV). The available LTV can vary depending upon the type of mortgage.

Shared Ownership mortgages will offer two percentages under LTV – the proportion of the property value and the proportion of the share being purchased.
