Minimum ownership period of 12 months for all remortgages.

Bristol & West will no longer accept cases where the owner/vendor is not the registered proprietor, and has not been so for a minimum period of 12 months.

Bristol & West will pay for one standard valuation to be completed on your application but Bristol & West may not always arrange for a valuer to go and inspect the property.

Overpayments are permitted on this mortgage. A lump sum overpayment can only be made by cheque and is any amount that you pay to us in addition to the monthly payment due. When we receive a lump sum overpayment, we recalculate the amount you owe and the amount of interest you pay with effect from the following day. This means you get the benefit of paying less interest straight away.

Regular overpayments can only be made by standing order and are amounts that you pay us each month in addition to the normal monthly payment. When we receive a regular overpayment, we recalculate the amount you owe and the interest you pay at the end of our financial year (currently 31st March). The amount you owe will not be reduced immediately.

On this mortgage, early repayment charges may apply and we charge an administration fee (currently £50) on each occasion. However, during the financial year, you can make lump sum and/or regular overpayments that will not incur an early repayment charge or an administration fee providing that - 1) each lump sum overpayment is not less than £2,000 and 2) the total amount repaid does not exceed 10% of the amount owed at 1st April. If an overpayment is made which causes the total amount overpaid to exceed 10% then the whole of that overpayment will be subject to an early repayment charge due and an administration fee will be payable.
