Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you don't keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Lower your monthly payments: Choose a term up to 40 years
With a capital repayment mortgage, a longer term could reduce your monthly payments to help you get on the ladder – although keep in mind, you will pay more interest overall. You may be able to reduce your term in the future, simply give us a call.
Be offer ready: Get an Agreement in Principle that lasts 6 months
An AIP is a document that shows what we could lend you before you apply for a mortgage, so you can make an offer as soon as you find the perfect place.

Save money: Avoid unnecessary fees
- We’ll cover the cost of standard valuations on the property you’re buying
- No booking fees on some mortgages, or fixed at £490, fees are non-refundable but can be transferred to another deal for up to six months
- No charges for support and advice from our advisors.
Look to the future: Don’t pay to overpay
We don’t charge early repayment charges like some other lenders – it’s simply not fair to do it. This might not be a consideration right now, but unlimited overpayments mean you could reduce the overall interest you pay in the future.

Now let’s help you get offer-ready
Great homes are moving fast. Be ready to make an offer from the minute that property alert pings. This is where an Agreement in Principle comes in. It’s not a legal document and it won’t affect your credit score – but it will show that you’re serious about buying. With the property market moving at such a pace, you might find you miss out on properties if you don’t have your AIP ready before viewing.
