Portability
This product is portable and can be transferred from the existing property to a new property.
Interest rate floor
The interest rate for this mortgage has a ‘floor’, which means that it will never fall below 2.50% during the discount period.
Adding fees
If you add the arrangement fee to the loan, then interest will be charged on it resulting in a greater amount payable over the term of the mortgage.
Interest Only
Interest-only can be chosen to apply during the period of study, after this the mortgage will typically revert to a capital and interest basis for the remainder of the term. Should interest-only be required after studies then this is acceptable providing the loan-to-value does not exceed 70% and there is minimum equity of £200,000. A suitable strategy for repayment must be in place.
Eligibility
Property must be in England and Wales with a value of £125,000 or more.
If a legal charge is being taken over a parental helper’s property, their property value must be:
