With this product we will pay the standard valuation fee up to a maximum of £480. However this payment excludes:
-any second or subsequent valuations; and
- the cost of any homebuyers surveys or building (structural) surveys where such cost exceeds the cost of the standard valuation fee.

You are able to make overpayments to the sum of 10% of the loan amount on any part of this mortgage in each 12 month period. Overpayments which exceed this will incur an early repayment charge of the percentage specified in Section 10 on the amount of the excess.
If you make an overpayment or lump sum payment then the amount you owe, and so the amount of interest you pay, is reduced immediately. This provides you with benefit immediately.

With prior agreement, reduced monthly payments may be allowed at any time providing you have previously built up enough credit through overpayments.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional secured borrowing. You may be able to apply for additional borrowing following completion of your mortgage, subject to certain conditions being met. This additional borrowing must be repaid in full if your total borrowing is repaid in full. Further information is available on request from Accord.
