Borrow Back Allowed. Any overpayments made are paid into a prepayment reserve. You may borrow back from this reserve at any time, subject to the Lenders terms and conditions, as long as you borrow a minimum of £1000 and if the current mortgage payments are up to date.
Funds borrowed back are a drawdown from this reserve, and the interest rate applied will reflect that of the rate being charged on the tracker product at that time. The rate will be applied until the end date of the incentive period of that tracker product.
All drawdowns from your Prepayment Reserve will be subject to an administration fee (currently £20).
You can make lump sum or regular overpayments. The amount you owe will reduce immediately on receipt of any overpayments and interest calculated on the reduced balance daily. Over the longer term, this can mean reduced monthly payments or a shorter mortgage term.

Your Cash Reserve is the difference between the amount we are willing to lend you when you apply for your FREESTYLE Mortgage and the amount you actually borrow, subject to certain maximum as per our lending criteria. We will charge a fee, currently £99 to set up a cash Reserve facility.
If your application for a Cash Reserve is successful and we create a Cash Reserve for you, you will be able to borrow money from this reserve for any purpose at our FREESTYLE Standard Variable Rate or any other fixed or discounted variable rates that may be available for Cash Reserve drawdowns from time to time.
Drawndowns at a fixed or discounted variable rate will be subject to a booking fee or an arrangement fee respectively. All drawdowns from your cash Reserve will also be subject to an administration fee (currently £20). The minimum amount you can borrow is £1000.

There are no Early Repayment Charges when the Cash Reserve funds you have borrowed at our FREESTYLE Standard Variable Rate are repaid. However, if the Cash Reserve is taken on one of our Fixed or discounted variable rate products and repaid during the incentive period then the Early Repayment Charges for that product will apply.
THIS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BORROWING SECURED ON YOUR HOME.
