Is this product right for you?

What are the key features of this product?

This is a variable rate mortgage product which means monthly payments can go up or down during the term of the discount period. This is different to a fixed rate product. The rate of interest is linked to the Society’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR) for mortgages. During the first 5 years, the interest rate charged will be 2.71% below the Society’s SVR – this is the discount period and rate.

The lowest interest rate you might pay during this period will be 2.49% which is called the “floored” rate.  This means that if the Society’s SVR is below 5.20% at any time during the period of the product, you will not benefit from the full rate of discount of 2.71%.

Three months before this product ends, we will contact you with the options available. If you do nothing at the end of the product period, you will move to the Society’s SVR which may mean your payments increase.

This product is available on:

  • A Capital & Interest repayment basis. This means your monthly repayments will contribute to paying back the initial loan as well as the monthly interest on the remaining balance. Over time, this will mean the amount owed will reduce and the interest will also reduce.

  • An Interest-Only repayment basis. This means that your monthly repayments will only pay back the interest on your initial loan amount. The capital balance will not reduce. You will need to agree with us up front, a suitable method of repaying the initial loan at the end of the mortgage term.

This product is available for properties in England and Wales.

There is a £150 fee payable for setting up this mortgage.

This product is available for loans of at least £5,000 and up to £500,000.

This product can only be taken if the existing mortgage has been active for at least 6 months.

This product can only be taken if the total amount of this new loan plus the amount owed on the existing mortgage does not exceed £1,500,000.

This product can only be taken if the purpose of the loan is to make improvements to the property.

Who is this product designed for?

This product is designed for customers wanting a residential mortgage who:

  • want a further advance on their property. 

  • have at least a 20% (40% for interest only) deposit/equity in their property.

  • have surplus monthly income to manage their finances if the Society’s SVR goes up which would mean an increase to the monthly repayment amount.

  • want the option of exiting the product without any additional fees or overpay their monthly mortgage payment without restriction.

Who is this product NOT intended for?

This product is not intended for customers who:

  • want or need the certainty of a fixed monthly repayment for the term of the product.

Does this product deliver "fair value" for customers?

Being a mutual building society, all our products are priced to balance the needs of our Member savers and borrowers and the Society’s operating costs to support the Society’s long-term future.

We support our mortgage customers by providing each applicant with a bespoke, personal, and individual approach. We largely deal with people whose circumstances do not fit into the standard requirements of automated decision-making processes used by larger lenders.

We believe this product represents fair value for the customers it was designed for considering the customer support provided before, during and after the application.

Important Notes:

Once the product matures the interest rate will revert to our Standard Variable Rate (SVR) unless a new product is taken out. Our SVR is currently 8.10%. This is set by us and may go up or down in the future.

The Overall Cost for Comparison is given as the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) and includes all charges incurred relating to the mortgage/product. The APRC enables you to compare the cost of different products.

The Maximum Loan to Value (LTV) is calculated by us using your current mortgage balance, the proposed further advance, and our current assessed valuation of your property.
