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These offers are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time.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 Lender's normal lending policy.

Lender 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 the Lender 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.

We accept gifted deposits provided no interest in the property is registered by a third party. Please refer to Lender's website for full details.

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 conveyancer will tell you that additional money is required and request your written agreement to this.

Alternatively, you should confirm this in writing to your conveyancer 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 10 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 for a revised KFI.

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

For all Interest Only applications with or without a repayment vehicle, the Maximum LTV is restricted to 75% (subject to product LTV.)
For interest only applications with a repayment vehicle, Abbey will assess affordability on a capital and interest basis.
