Mortgage is Portable, Mortgage is Flexible, Under payments allowed., Overpayments allowed.
If you move to another property (‘the new property’), you may transfer all or part of your loan to a mortgage of the new property if the following conditions are satisfied:
you must have had your original mortgage with Mortgage Express for at least six months from completion;
you must have paid the monthly payments due under your original mortgage in full and on time;
the amount transferred must be at least £25,000;
Mortgage Express must be satisfied that the new property gives Mortgage Express adequate security for the amount transferred;
The new mortgage must be a first mortgage of the new property and must be in a form satisfactory to Mortgage Express.
Mortgage Express must be satisfied with the results of any credit reference agency searches Mortgage Express makes about you at the time of the transfer.
If your original mortgage includes conditions:
stating that Mortgage Express will charge interest on the loan (or the part transferred) at a fixed, capped or discounted rate; and/or
requiring you to pay an early repayment charge.
and the period for which those conditions apply has not expired at the time of the transfer, the conditions will continue to apply to the loan (or the part transferred) during the remainder of that period.
If only part of the loan is transferred to the mortgage of the new property, you will have to pay any early repayment charge, which applies to the part, which is not transferred.
If the amount which you wish to borrow under the mortgage of the new property is more than the amount of the loan, you should contact Mortgage Express to see if they are able to provide the additional amount. Mortgage Express can not guarantee that they will be able to lend you the additional amount. Any additional amount which Mortgage Express does lend may be lent on different terms from those which apply to the loan.
If you complete the sale of the original property before you complete the purchase of the new property, you will have to repay the debt in full on completion of the sale of the original property, together with any early repayment charge which applies. Mortgage Express will refund the early repayment charge (or part of which you paid on the part of the loan which is transferred to the mortgage) when you complete the purchase of the new property.

Mortgage Express' basic principle for house purchases is that we will lend on the lower of purchase price (less any discounts), or valuation. We reserve the right to decline any types of transaction that are found to contravene this principle at any time before release of funds. In particular:
· we reserve the right to refuse business where the seller has owned the
property for less than six months.
· we will not accept business involving assignable contracts and sub sale
purchases.
· we will refuse business if we believe that connected parties are
attempting to sell properties between themselves at inflated purchase
prices or at undervalue.
Product is not CAT standard.
Payment Holidays Allowed. By making overpayments to the mortgage account you will build up a ‘Choices’ credit balance. If the LTV is less than 90%, you may use the ‘Choices’ credit balance to take a payment Holiday until you have used up the credit balance, no direct debit will be collected (for a maximum of 6 consecutive months), unless Mortgage Express agrees a longer period.
Borrow Back Allowed. By making overpayments to the mortgage account you will build up a ‘Choices’ credit balance. If the LTV is less than 90%, you may use the ‘Choices’ credit balance by obtaining a ‘funds release’, all or part of the Choices credit balance will be sent to you, (up to 2 such releases are permitted in any year).
Under the ‘Choices’ scheme, which applies to the mortgage, you can make regular overpayments as follows:
a) The overpayments must be made with the regular monthly payment and the total amount must be paid by direct debit.
b) Each overpayment must be a sum, which is a multiple of £5.
c) The minimum overpayment is £25 and the maximum is 100% of the monthly payment.
d) Any overpayment that exceeds 100% of the monthly payment would be subject to any applicable early repayment charges detailed in section 10.
Please note.
If the debt is decreased by any overpayment you make, the decrease will not reduce the LTV (and will not result in the interest rate or monthly payment being reduced to reflect a reduction in the LTV) until the next anniversary of the loan release date.
When we review the mortgage account on the next anniversary of the loan release date (as described in Section 4 above), a reduction in the debt which results from any overpayments you have made will be taken into account in determining the interest rate which applies to the debt. We will recalculate the monthly payments based on the interest rate that applies to the debt and, if the loan is made on the repayment basis, the remainder of the mortgage term.
By making overpayments to the mortgage account you will build up a ‘Choices’ credit balance. If the LTV is less than 90%, you may use the ‘Choices’ credit balance to make Underpayments, an amount less than a normal monthly payment will be collected until you have used up the credit balance.
The mortgage is available to a maximum of 75% of the property valuation or purchase price, whichever is lower.
