Advances

Up to £500,000 80% LTV

Up to £750,000 75% LTV

 

Notes

Mortgage NOT portable

You cannot currently move your mortgage from one property to another.

Advances over £300K will be referred to Platforms insurers and will require an audit valuation (Platform will pay for this).

 

No gifted deposits allowed on private sales.

Product is not CAT standard.

- For an additional £350 a FAST Remortgage option is available, includes title insurance and conveyancing. (Optional and can be added to loan)

Overpayments can be made at any time. However, for amounts in excess of £1,000.00, an Early Repayment Charge, calculated on the amount repaid, may be charged where notice is not given (See Section 10 for more information about those Charges).

You will get the benefit of any overpayment immediately. Any overpayments will reduce the outstanding balance, once the funds have cleared, and therefore the amount on which interest is calculated.

This mortgage includes a facility for additional secured borrowing. You may apply for additional secured borrowing 6 months after completion, subject to our lending criteria being satisfied at that time. A revaluation of the property may be required.

ANY BORROWING YOU TAKE UP WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BORROWING SECURED ON YOUR HOME.

The maximum it is possible to borrow on this product is 80% of the value of the property (or the purchase price, whichever is lower). Remember that other factors will also affect how much you can borrow.
