Product related fees

There is an arrangement fee of £1,999. This fee can be taken off the mortgage amount, or you can add the fee to the amount you borrow. If you choose to add the arrangement fee to your mortgage you will pay interest on the fee at the same rate as your mortgage. If you choose to take the arrangement fee off the mortgage, this will be deducted from the amount you borrow and so, you will need to pay the arrangement fee to your solicitor at completion.

Early Repayment Charges

Early Repayment Charges apply during the product term. You can overpay up to 10% of the original mortgage amount each calendar year without charge. However, if the overpayment exceeds 10%, the mortgage is repaid in full, or switched to another product before the end of the product term then the full amount of the Early Repayment Charge will apply.

The Early Repayment Charge will be calculated at:

  • 3% of the amount repaid until 31 December 2024; and
  • 2% of the amount repaid until 31 December 2026.

    • Thatched roof properties;
    • Grade 2 listed;
    • Prefabricated reinforced concrete (PRC) repaired properties that have the benefit of a 30 year insurance backed guarantee and structural warranty.

    However, we will not lend on flats and apartments in blocks above five storeys high and we will not lend on ex-local authority flats or maisonettes.

  • How much is a valuation fee?

    A standard valuation report is used to calculate how much we will lend you. This is separate from any valuation or survey of the property you might want to commission for your own use. There are other homebuyers or structural survey options available to you at additional cost.

    Some of our mortgages offer free valuations and the product pages will tell you if this is the case. Our mortgage valuation charges page will provide details of the costs incurred for both a standard valuation and the more detailed homebuyers report.
