Notes

Mortgage is Portable

You can keep this product if you move to a new property and take out a new mortgage with Birmingham Midshires, provided that the new mortgage is for the same amount and is taken out within 6 months of repayment of this loan. If this occurs, any early repayment charges (detailed above), will not be payable. However, if the new mortgage is taken out in different names Birmingham Midshires will not waive or refund these early repayment charges without the written consent of all original borrowers.

If either the scheme or your circumstances change, you may not be able to keep this product, and any early repayment charges (detailed above), will be payable.

When moving house you will be unable to keep this product if your level of adverse credit increases beyond the maximum allowed.

Self Cert Accepted

Product is not CAT standard.

You are free to make lump sum or regular overpayments to this mortgage, however the early repayment charges, detailed in section 10, will apply if you make lump sum or regular overpayments within the period that these early repayment charges apply.

If you do make a lump sum payment or overpayment then the amount you owe, and the amount of interest you are charged, is reduced immediately. This means that you will get the benefit straightaway.
