Self employed applicants under 75% LTV can supply an accountant's letter or the last 2 years' tax assessment.

An applicant must be a genuine First Time Buyer to qualify for a FTB special product. Applicants who own, or have owned a property cannot take these products.

The policy relating to the Mortgage Products of existing borrowers moving home has been changed. Customers on annual interest rate products with early repayment charges will now have several options on their existing products: 1) Port the product on an annual interest basis and top up with one of the annual interest products from the current range; or 2) Change the interest calculation method to daily interest and top up with one of the daily interest products from the current range; or 3) If their product has finished, but they are still within a tie in period, they can choose entirely from the new product range and the early repayment charges will be waived; or 4) Pay the early repayment charges and choose entirely from the new product range.

Customers on a daily interest product can port that product over, and top up with a daily interest product from the current range. This is not an exhaustive list of scenarios. Speak to your Intermediary Sales Manager with any queries.

For Shared Ownership please refer to Halifax before submission.

 

Payment Holidays Allowed. Providing your mortgage is no more than one month in arrears and your mortgage is at least three months old, you can request a payment holiday. Further information regarding other conditions applying to underpayments and Payment Holidays can be found in our booklet 'Information about your mortgage' which Halifax issue with mortgage offers.

You are free to make lump sum or regular overpayments to this mortgage at any time. For details of any early repayment charges that may apply please refer to Section 10.

Currently, as a concession, in any 12 month rolling period you may repay up to 10% of the amount outstanding on your mortgage product without having to pay an early repayment change. Halifax reserves the right to change or withdraw this concession.

The lender’s daily interest method will apply and the interest charged takes account of any changes in the mortgage debt from day to day. Any lump sum or regular overpayments made will immediately reduce the amount of interest you have to pay because interest will be charged on the reduced balance.

Providing your mortgage is not in arrears you can make underpayments equal to the amount of any previous overpayments.

The availability of the mortgage product chosen is based on the amount of loan as a percentage of the value of the property. Changes to the loan amount or the property value could alter the availability of this product. If this is the case, please ask for a revised illustration.

- The Lender will judge customers with previous or existing adverse credit in a flexible manner and every case will be judged on its individual merits, along with the customer's ability to keep up repayments on the mortgage, taking into account his/her existing liabilities.

- The Lender will consider cases of financial difficulty and mortgage arrears sympathetically.

- The Lender follows the general principles of the Council of Mortgage Lenders' Statement of Practice on Handling Arrears and Possessions, including :

a) with your co-operation, developing a plan with you for dealing with your financial difficulties and clearing the arrears, consistent with both your interests and those of the Lender.

b) possession of your property will be sought only as a last resort when attempts to reach alternative arrangements with you have been unsuccessful.
