Notes

Mortgage is Portable, Mortgage is Flexible, Overpayments allowed.

This mortgage is portable. If you move house when the lender is charging interest at a special rate, you can transfer the outstanding amount of the special rate loan for the remaining special rate period on the same terms to a new Intelligent Finance mortgage subject to certain conditions, These are set out in the Intelligent Finance conditions 2008, which will be sent to you with your mortgage offer.

Alternatively, you can choose from Intelligent Finance's range of mortgage products available at that time.

The loan amount must be based on affordability instead of income multiples, please refer to Intelligent Finance for details.

Product is not CAT standard.

 

Payment Holidays Allowed. You can take a payment holiday on this mortgage at any time unless: you have already taken 2 payment holidays in the same calendar year; we are charging interest at a fixed rate on any part of the mortgage debt; you are in the first 6 months or last 3 years of your mortgage term; or any of the key restrictions on Intelligent Finance's flexible mortgages apply, which will be set out in section 12 of your mortgage offer. We will add the interest element of any missed regular mortgage payment to the mortgage debt. You will have to repay it and the additional interest due on it over the remaining mortgage term. THIS WILL MEAN THAT YOUR REGULAR MORTGAGE PAYMENT WILL GO UP. If you have more than one part to your mortgage and wish to take a payment holiday, you must take a payment holiday on all parts.

Borrow Back Allowed. Intelligent Finance calls this a 'built-up reserve'. It is the amount you build up by paying more than your regular mortgage payment. You can borrow all or part of the built-up reserve at any time unless:

You have not borrowed all of the pre-agreed reserve on this mortgage.

You are in the last 3 years of your mortgage term.

The amount you ask us for is less than £1,000, or any of the key restrictions on Intelligent Finance's flexible mortgages apply, which will be set out in section 12 of your mortgage offer.

Any built-up reserve you borrow will be charged at a variable rate which is the same as Intelligent Finance's offset variable mortgage rate.

USING THE BUILT-UP RESERVE WILL MEAN THAT YOUR REGULAR MORTGAGE PAYMENT AND THE AMOUNT SECURED ON YOUR PROPERTY WILL GO UP.

Linked Current Account. You can but do not have to have a current account jar in the same Intelligent Finance plan as your mortgage. We have different interest rates for current account depending on whether the current account is overdrawn or not (and, if it is, whether the overdraft is arranged.)

If you have money in a current account jar in the same Intelligent Finance plan as your mortgage, you can choose to minimise the interest you pay us (we call this option 1) or maximise the interest we pay you (we call this option 2). We explain how in the Intelligent Finance conditions 2008, which will be sent to you with your mortgage offer.

Option 1 – By offsetting you choose not to receive any interest on the balances of your current account and/or savings. In return, you pay interest on the equivalent amount on your mortgage.

You can choose to benefit from Option 1 in one of the following ways:

Shorter Term - Your regular mortgage payment will not be affected by offsetting. Instead the interest will be used to reduce your mortgage debt and may result in your mortgage being repaid early.

Lower Payments - Offsetting will reduce your regular mortgage payment. Any interest saved in one month will be used to reduce the amount of your next mortgage payment.

Reduced Debt - The interest saved by offsetting will be used to reduce your mortgage debt. Your regular mortgage payment will be recalculated at certain trigger points throughout the life of your mortgage.

Option 2 – By offsetting you choose to receive interest on your current and/or savings account balances at the same rate as your borrowing. Any portion of your current account and/or savings account balances that are greater than your borrowings will still receive interest at the usual rate.

Linked Savings/Offset Account. You can but do not have to have a savings jar in the same Intelligent Finance plan as your mortgage.

If you have money in a savings jar in same Intelligent Finance plan as your mortgage, you can choose to minimise the interest you pay on offset debit balances (option 1) or maximise the interest you receive on offset credit balances (option 2). This works in the same way for linked savings account as it does for current accounts.

This mortgage allows you to make both regular and lump sum overpayments, during the special rate period. Any regular or lump overpayments which result in you paying off your special rate loan early will incur a special rate early repayment charge.

For details of any early repayment charges (including special rate early repayment charges) applicable as a result of paying off your mortgage early, please refer to Section 10, Early repayment charges.

Any regular or lump sum overpayment you make will reduce your mortgage debt. You will get the benefit of this straight away because it will reduce the amount of interest that you have to pay. It will not, however, trigger the setting of a new regular mortgage payment.

Regular active overpayments or lump sum active overpayments will not trigger the setting of a new regular mortgage payment, unless you have chosen Lower Payments as your mortgage payment option. In this case, lump sum active overpayments will trigger the setting of a new regular mortgage payment.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional secured borrowing. Intelligent Finance calls this a 'pre-agreed reserve'. We will set out the amount of any pre-agreed reserve we are prepared to offer you in our mortgage offer. If you have not borrowed all of the pre-agreed reserve within the period we say it is available, Intelligent Finance may extend its availability for a further period or may withdraw it.

You can borrow all or part of the pre-agreed reserve at any time unless:

The amount you ask us for is less than £1,000, or.

Any of the key restrictions on Intelligent Finance’s flexible mortgages apply, which will be set out in section 12 of your mortgage offer.

Any pre-agreed reserve you borrow will be charged at a variable rate which is the same as Intelligent Finance's offset variable mortgage rate.

THIS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BORROWING SECURED ON YOUR HOME.

If you borrow the pre-agreed reserve and then repay the original loan early, this will not mean that you have to repay the pre-agreed reserve that you have borrowed straight away.
