Payments

Your first Direct Debit may be more than your normal on-going monthly repayments.

This is an industry standard practice, as your first payment includes what is known as initial interest.

Initial interest is the interest charged from the date of completion, up until the end of that month. If it is not possible to collect a payment in that first month the initial interest will be added to the following month so could cause the payment to be much larger than your regular payments. It is advisable to budget for this when you are moving home.

Yes, you can make overpayments up to a certain amount in-line with your offer conditions over a 12 month period in the initial product term of your mortgage and unlimited overpayments later.

You can arrange overpayments by contacting our team to organise a one-off payment or set-up regular overpayments.

You can make an overpayment by bank transfer or standing order:

Sort code 20-19-90 account number 90261971 (NB – please use your account number as the reference number).

If you've paid more than the amount needed to pay off the mortgage, following redemption we will contact you to discuss returning the surplus funds.

The Bank of England Base Rate (BBR) represents the rate at which the Bank of England lends to other financial institutions; it is reviewed several times a year by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). This could then affect your mortgage payments depending on what type of rate you are on.
