Once a customer has had their mortgage with us for 7 years, a loyalty discount is available, this will be at least 0.25% off Northern Rock's Standard Variable Mortgage Rate for the rest of the life of the loan. This is providing that mortgage payments are up to data. They do not continue to benefit from a special rate (such as a product discount, a guaranteed rate, or fixed rate) or other product benefit (such as a cashback) and they are not within an Early Repayment Charge period.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional secured borrowing. You can apply for additional borrowing at any time. Approval will be subject to your circumstances and lending criteria.

Loyalty Discount of 0.25% off SVR applies after 7 years, or after the product period if longer, providing payments are up to date.

Product is not CAT standard.

Payment Holidays Allowed. Following 9 full consecutive monthly payments you may apply for a one-month mortgage payment holiday. This may be applied for once in every 12 month period following completion of your mortgage. If you choose not to take a payment holiday in any given 12 month period, you may accumulate the right to take up to a maximum of 3 payment holidays in any 12 month period. In certain circumstances Northern Rock will consider applications for payment holidays of up to 6 months. For example to coincide with maternity/paternity leave.

All payment holidays are subject to Northern Rock prior agreement. You should note that interest will continue to be charged during a payment holiday.

Borrow Back Allowed. If you make overpayments totalling at least £500, then subject to Northern Rock's prior agreement, you may be able to borrow back some or all of the amount overpaid, provided that the amount requested is at least £500.

You are permitted to make overpayments on this mortgage.

Following receipt of a regular overpayment or a lump sum repayment, the amount that you owe and the amount of interest that you pay will be recalculated with effect from the following day. There are no Product Early Repayment Charges applicable to overpayments.

If you make overpayments, you can at any time, make a lower monthly payment or stop your monthly mortgage payment until such time as you reach the amount previously overpaid. This is subject to Northern Rock prior agreement.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional secured borrowing. You can apply for additional borrowing at any time. Approval will be subject to your circumstances and the Lending criteria.

THIS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BORROWING SECURED ON YOUR HOME.

A credit check will be made on all applicants and the loan will be declined where an adverse credit history is registered. In addition, credit scoring will be used as part of the decision-making process.

- 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.
