Notes

Mortgage is Portable

If you move house you may be able to transfer this mortgage to another property as long as you meet the conditions set out in the mortgage conditions booklet under 'Transferring your loan to a new mortgage'.

A8 Member states, Bulgarian and Romanian nationals are not eligible for fast track.

If split repayments are allowed on a product the following criteria will apply:

- Product specific LTVs apply

- Interest Only with a Repayment Vehicle: up to 75% LTV

- Interest Only with no Repayment Vehicle: up to 50% LTV

- Combining the two Interest Only payment options, maximum LTV is 75% LTV, with the Interest Only with no RV element restricted to maximum 50% LTV

- Combining either or both of the Interest Only options with Capital & Interest repayment, the maximum LTV is to 90%

Family Business: 3 months bank statements showing the salary required and an accountant's letter.

Pension Linked depends on the end date of the Pension Policy maximum 57 years.

For Pure Interest Only mortgages the maximum term is 25 years providing the applicant can confirm ability to pay in retirement.

Abbey will undertake a review of sample cases (pre and post completion) where we may request evidence of income to confirm that this matches the information supplied to us when submitted.

The customer may transfer their mortgage to another property subject to the following conditions:

These offers are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time.

All offers meet Abbey’s normal lending policy.

Abbey reserves the right to withdraw the Fixed/Variable Tracker/Capped / Rate and reclaim the Cashback if the property is no longer owner occupied or the customer does not comply with the conditions of their mortgage.

The mortgage must remain with Abbey until the charge end date or a charge will apply.

If the benefit end date is before the charge end date, the mortgage must remain at the appropriate Tracker rate until the charge end date. For products with Standard Variable Rate collars, customers will be required to stay on the Standard Variable Rate or the collar rate, whichever is the higher, until the charge end date.

You may make lump or regular overpayment at any time. Please refer to section 10 for details of any early repayment charges that may apply.

If there is an early repayment charge referred to in section 10, you may, without having to pay an early repayment charge, make additional capital repayments of up to 10% of the loan for each year.

Overpayments in excess of 10% each year will attract an early repayment charge on the amount of the excess.

If the overpayment is used to reduce the amount you owe then the interest you pay will be recalculated immediately.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional borrowing without further approval. You may borrow additional money up to £750 to be able to complete your mortgage. Your solicitor will tell you that additional money is required and request your written agreement to this.

Alternatively, you should confirm this in writing to your solicitor so that they may request it on your behalf. This would increase the total amount borrowed. Your monthly payment would increase based on the product rate in section 4 charged on the additional money. The same early repayment charge would apply as section 4 on the additional amount borrowed. This will be in addition to the early repayment charge payable on the money already borrowed. All money borrowed will need to be paid back in full by the end of the mortgage term. The total loan must not be above 90% LTV. If you wish to use this feature please contact Abbey National for a revised KFI.

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

For all Interest Only applications which have a repayment vehicle, the Maximum LTV is restricted to 75% (subject to product LTV) If the application does not have a repayment vehicle, the Maximum LTV is reduced to 50%.

For interest only applications with a repayment vehicle, Abbey will assess affordability using SVR (or the product rate if higher) on a capital and interest basis.
