    When you take out a mortgage, you might appreciate some support on your journey. For this reason, we provide the following benefits.

    • Daily interest - by calculating the interest you pay on a daily basis, we may be able help you save thousands of pounds over the life of your mortgage.
    • Overpayments up to 10% per year without charge even if there is an Early Repayment Charge (ERC) – this option could allow you to pay your mortgage off earlier than planned, potentially saving you thousands of pounds in interest.
    • Payment holidays - if you've made overpayments and are eligible, we offer payment holidays, giving you a break from mortgage payments for up to three consecutive months.
    • Mix and match - if you'd like a combination of products, your mortgage adviser may be able to recommend a combination of products to suit your personal requirements. In such cases, the highest product fee of those chosen will apply.
    • For Buy to Let mortgages, rental income is tested for affordability purposes on 145% or 125% (depending upon your circumstances) of the mortgage interest payment at an interest rate of 5.5% pa.
    • One free standard valuation up to a maximum purchase price/estimated valuation/ultimate valuation of £1,500,000. See product information for details.
    • Free standard legal costs for some products if you're remortgaging.
    • Cashback following completion for some products.
    • Portability - your product may be portable, meaning you may be able to move your mortgage deal with you (subject to lending criteria) if you choose to move house, without paying an ERC unless you are reducing the balance.

    Apply

    Start your application

    You can start your application by obtaining a Decision in Principle (DIP) which takes around 30 minutes to complete, once you have the relevant information to hand.

    • You will need your salary and employment details/2 years’ worth of accounts or an accountant's certificate if you are self employed
    • details of your existing mortgage(s), if you already have one
    • details of your current financial commitments and loans

    We will ask you for specific information about your income and outgoings, following which we will provide you with a decision about the amount of loan which could be available to you and whether we will be able to provide you with a mortgage. The DIP is not a cost quotation for a particular mortgage product but an indicator of how much we would be prepared to lend you. A more detailed quotation will be provided to you in the form of a Mortgage Illustration later in the application process.

    Once you have this initial lending decision, our mortgage team will book a telephone or video appointment with a qualified Mortgage Adviser. They will advise you on products which are most suitable for you and assist you in making a full mortgage application.

    Please note, an application for a DIP involves the Society carrying out a credit check on you. This will leave a credit footprint which may affect your credit rating.

    Decision in Principle - Important Notes

    • Applicant(s) must be at least 18 years of age and must be a UK resident or EEA citizen or have indefinite leave to remain.
    • The property must be in the UK. (NB Currently we do not lend in Northern Ireland)
