A maximum term of 40 years is only available on mortgages backed by a pension, PEP or ISA.

A maximum term of 35 years is available for all other acceptable repayment methods.

Customers will be asked how they intend to pay off the loan if the term will take them past the age of 65.

Payment Holidays Allowed. The Society may allow you to take up to 3 months payment break during any financial year of the Society (i.e. the 12 months ending on 31st December in any year), providing the first 6 monthly payments on the mortgage have been made and the account is not in arrears. Debit interest will continue to be added to the mortgage on the first day of the month and will form part of the mortgage balance upon which monthly interest will be calculated. To request a payment holiday, you must give the Society at least five days notice. It is entirely up to the Society whether to grant your request or not.

The mortgage valuation is waived up to a maximum amount of £680 if the Lender instructs the valuer. In some instances different valuation assessments may be under taken. If applicable the actual fee you will pay is shown in section 8.

The Lender will only meet the legal costs involved in moving your mortgage to the Lender. The Lender will not meet any legal costs relating to changing ownership of the property. These costs will be your responsibility. Full details are available from the Lender on request.

For this mortgage, you will be allowed to repay 5% of the annual balance per year during the period when early repayment charges apply. Any overpayment using the direct debit overpayment facility will be applied to the mortgage immediately and interest recalculated. You will be advised of your revised monthly repayment if applicable.
