Representative example

A repayment mortgage of £175,000 payable over 33 years and 4 months, initially on a fixed rate for 2 years at 5.34% and then on our current variable rate of 6.99% (variable) for the remaining 31 years and 4 months, would require 24 monthly payments of £938.05 and 375 monthly payments of £1,123.23 plus one final payment of £1,122.95.

The total amount payable would be £445,142.40 made up of the loan amount plus interest of £269,847.40 and a solicitors fee of £295.

In this example, the overall cost for comparison is 7.0% APRC representative.

This example is based on the highest APRC applicable to customers purchasing a property. Please note your actual costs and monthly repayments will vary.

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
