Product is not CAT standard.

Linked Savings/Offset Account. You must open an Offset Savings Account with the Society. No interest will be paid on the Offset Savings Account. The Society will work out the difference at the end of each day between the debit balance on your Offset Mortgage Account and the balance in your Offset Savings Account. If the debit balance on your Offset Mortgage Account exceeds the value in your Offset Savings Account, interest will be charged on the difference.

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. This would come in to effect if the amount is £1000 or more.

Restrictions apply.

Lending is subject to a satisfactory credit reference.
