Representative Example

A mortgage of £346,750.00 payable over 25 years initially on a variable rate, currently 6.40% for 2 years then on our follow-on rate of a 1.74% discount off our standard variable rate (currently 8.64%) giving a rate of 6.90% variable for the remaining 23 years would require 23 monthly payments of £2,322.81 and 276 monthly payments of £2,425.86; plus one initial interest payment of £1,819.02.

The total amount payable would be £725,385.01 made up of the loan amount, plus interest and fee(s) totalling £378,635.01. This includes Application Fee (£199), Legal Fees (£255), Chaps Fee (£25) and Redemption Administration Fee (£125).

The overall cost for comparison is 7.0% 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.

When borrowers come to the end of the initial rate term, we will write to them to offer them another deal and they can either choose to accept this deal, remortgage to another lender, or should they do nothing, revert onto a follow-on rate at 1.74% below our Standard Variable Rate (SVR).

The follow-on rate is also variable and may go up or down. A minimum interest rate of 3% will apply during the full term of the mortgage.

How much are valuation fees?

A basic valuation fee is included. If you require a more detailed Homebuyers Report, this will be at an additional charge.

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.
