The circumstances will remain exceptional for as long as either one of these tests continues to be satisfied.

Overall status:

Exceptional circumstances still prevail

We have promised to track the performance of these two tests and advise when they no longer prevail. When this happens, we will voluntarily reinstate the ceiling for customers who had the benefit of it under their mortgage terms, provided no other exceptional circumstances have arisen in the meantime.
