Notes


Mortgage is Portable, Mortgage is Flexible, 10% Overpayments allowed per year.
If you move house you can transfer this mortgage to another property subject to the product’s terms and conditions.

Where an early repayment charge (including repayment of a cashback) becomes payable because you are paying off the mortgage in full, we will refund all or part of the charge if;
(a) you complete a new mortgage on a different property with us at the same time as you pay off this mortgage, or within three months of the date when you do so, and
(b) the new mortgage is on the same terms as your present mortgage (ignoring any difference in the amount lent under the new mortgage).

We will refund the early repayment charge in full if the new mortgage is on the same terms as this mortgage and is for the same amount or more than the amount required to redeem this mortgage.
If the amount NatWest Int Sols lend you under the new mortgage with us is less than the amount needed to redeem this mortgage, NatWest Int Sols will refund that part of the early repayment charge which would have been payable on the amount replaced by the new mortgage.


Shared Equity:
Min Share:15%
Max LTV Share:50%
Max LTV Property:90%


All new First Time Buyer applications must be submitted on a capital and interest repayment basis only.


Brokers have the option to carry out their own verification and
certification of clients' proof of identity and proof of address
documentation providing this meets the standard evidence set out within the
guidance for the UK Financial Sector issued by the Joint Money Laundering
Steering Group (JMLSG).

Please refer to the application tab notes for application packaging requirements.
All loans arranged on interest only must have a suitable plan in place to repay the capital by the end of the term.

We do insist that the investment plan covers the full interest only amount and is identified on the application form. For applications in excess of £1m evidence of repayment vehicle will be required.

Guarantor mortgages are available subject to the following conditions: no Higher Lending Charge fee; no need to be a property owner; guarantee for only 30% of the loan is required and Guarantor must have adequate life insurance.

NatWest Int Sols will consider applications with Shared Equity funding providing there are no restrictive covenants e.g. on resale price or who the property can be sold on to. HomeBuy Direct, MyChoice Homebuy , First Time Buyers' Initiative and LIFT – Low-cost Initiative for First Time Buyers (Scotland) purchase schemes, will be considered (LIFT applications with a 'golden share' element will not be accepted).

NatWest Int Sols currently does not accept applications from shared ownership schemes.

As your mortgage is on a fixed rate, if you choose to make an overpayment on this mortgage you may be liable to an early repayment charge. The amount of this charge will be based on the calculation method detailed in Section 10 of this illustration and the amount of the overpayment.
You can make overpayments on this mortgage.
- You can overpay a maximum of 10% of your outstanding mortgage balance in each 12 month period commencing on completion on your mortgage and continuing from each anniversary of that date until the end date of this rate, without incurring an Early Repayment Charge. If your mortgage is made up of more than one part you can overpay up to a maximum of 10% of the outstanding balance of each part.

- An Early Repayment Charge will be incurred on any overpayment that exceeds the annual 10% limit. Please refer to Section 10 for information on Early Repayment Charges that would be incurred if any overpayment exceeds the annual 10% limit.
You benefit immediately from overpaying directly to your mortgage. If you make an overpayment or lump sum payment then the amount you owe, and the amount of interest you pay, is reduced immediately.

Regular Overpayments
You can arrange to set up, discontinue or alter a regular overpayment in writing or by telephone at any time after completion of the loan. Your request must be received by us at least 14 days prior to your next Payment Day in order to be processed in time for that payment, otherwise the change will take effect from the following payment Day.
Regular overpayment amounts will be collected with the Monthly Payment and will not be varied automatically as a result of any change to the Interest Rate. The agreed overpayment will continue to be collected with the revised Monthly Payment after any such change.

You benefit immediately from overpaying to your mortgage:
This is because 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.

All new First Time Buyer applications must be submitted on a capital and interest repayment basis only.
