Depending on your mortgage product, there may be restrictions on the maximum amount you can overpay, either by regular overpayments or as a lump sum, in one year without incurring an Early Repayment Charge. You can usually repay a fixed percentage of your original mortgage balance per year without charge. For more details, see your mortgage account summary in the Skipton app or on Skipton Online, or refer to the details in your mortgage offer.
If you are making lump sum overpayments, these may trigger a recalculation of your monthly repayment amount.
