Repayment type	Interest only
Repayment means the way you choose to pay back the money you borrow. A ‘Capital Repayment’ Mortgage covers the interest and also reduces the total balance outstanding. An ‘Interest Only’ Mortgage covers just the interest and the original amount borrowed remains outstanding throughout the term of the mortgage. Offset Mortgages are a type of interest only mortgage, where your interest can be reduced by offsetting your savings against the money you owe on your mortgage.	Interest only

Extended tie-in period	No
Some lenders stipulate that the borrower keeps their mortgage with that lender for a period of time after their agreed interest rate period has ended. If the borrower moves their mortgage elsewhere during the tie in period, they may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge.	No
Interest calculated daily	Yes
The interest chargeable on the outstanding mortgage balance is calculated every day rather than at the end of each week, month or year.	Yes
Unlimited lump sum repayments without charge	Yes
One-off payments to reduce the outstanding balance on a mortgage without incurring a charge.	Yes
Unlimited overpayments without charge	Yes
When a borrower chooses to make a larger monthly mortgage payment on their mortgage than is agreed under the mortgage terms, without any charge.	Yes
Early Repayment Charges	No
An Early Repayment Charge is a charge you may have to pay if you choose to fully repay your mortgage early. Early Repayment Charges do not apply to first direct mortgages if you choose to make overpayments or lump sum payments to your mortgage. If you take a Fixed Rate Mortgage and you repay the whole of your mortgage during the Fixed Rate Period an Early Repayment Charge will apply. This charge is calculated at 3% of the original mortgage amount during first year of the Fixed Rate Period and 2% of the original mortgage amount if the mortgage is closed in any subsequent year during the Fixed Rate Period. If you choose to repay your mortgage after the Fixed Rate Period has ended, no Early Repayment Charge will apply. The amount of any Early Repayment Charge will be shown on your Mortgage Illustration, which you may receive if you decide to proceed with a mortgage application.	No
Closure fee	No
This is an administration cost to cover the costs in closing a mortgage once it has been fully repaid. Where a customer wishes to transfer their rate to another property and the sale and purchase complete at the same time, the closure fee will be waived.	No

This information doesn’t give you all the details you’ll need to make an informed decision about a mortgage. Please make sure you read each individual Mortgage Illustration before deciding whether the mortgage you’re looking at is right for you.

The Mortgage Illustration gives you tailored information, based on a particular mortgage and the amount of money you need, and shows associated rates and fees, the overall cost of the mortgage and your monthly payments. All lenders provide this information in the same format to make it easy to compare products. You can request a Mortgage Illustration for any product you’re eligible for.
