If you choose to pay more than your minimum monthly mortgage payment or pay off a lump sum you can reduce your outstanding balance, save money in interest payments and could reduce the term of your mortgage.
Depending on your mortgage type, 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 (ERC). You can usually repay a fixed percentage of your original mortgage balance per year without charge. For more details, see your mortgage offer or call us on 0345 8501 711.
Lump Sum overpayments:
- These are payments made in one, that are not included in your contracted monthly subscription
- These payments reduce your mortgage balance and will normally trigger a recalculation of your monthly repayments
Regular overpayments:
- This involves gradually increasing your Direct Debit to a fixed monthly amount, or a set amount above your minimum monthly payments
- These payments reduce your balance
