Notes

Mortgage NOT portable

If you move house, you must repay the loan together with any early repayment charges and fees.

- Mortgage is NOT for First time buyers

- Mortgage is an EXCLUSIVE product

You can repay all or part of the Loan at any time before the end of the Term in accordance with the Conditions. However if you do repay all or part of the Loan before the end of the Term (by making either lump sum or regular overpayments) you must pay us the amount of (a) the early repayment charge calculated on the amount repaid and (b) our Expenses in connection with the early repayment (as detailed in the Conditions and our Tariff from time to time). Any repayment will be credited to your mortgage account on the day that cleared funds are received by us. For the purposes of working out the amount of interest which is owed by you, the Interest for the Interest Period in which the repayment is made will be recalculated and credit will be given for the number of days from receipt of repayment until the end of the Interest Period in which the repayment is received. This means that you will get the benefit of paying less Interest straight away.
