Interest only mortgage

Interest only mortgage: Your repayment plan

As a responsible lender who puts customers at our heart, we want to help you make sure you can repay your mortgage, so we have been contacting all our customers to find out what their strategies for repayment are. Our work is also consistent with guidance from the Financial Conduct Authority (or FCA - who regulate mortgages) who have told mortgage lenders that it's good practice for us to contact customers regularly to make sure they know what their options are.

What to do if you need help?

Please provide us with details of how you intend to repay your mortgage. You can do this by calling us on the number below or you can complete our online form. We'll need to take details for each of the account holders named on the mortgage as well as the details of any repayment strategies that you have in place.

Repayment (Capital and Interest)

• With this type of mortgage the borrower's monthly payment will include elements of both interest and capital.
• Provided all payments are maintained the loan will be repaid at the end of the term.

Interest Only

• Existing customers looking to transfer to a new mortgage deal, port (i.e. transfer) their mortgage product to a new property or change the parties on the mortgage can maintain an Interest Only repayment method, if an acceptable repayment strategy is in place.
• If all or part of your mortgage is on an Interest Only repayment basis, please be aware that making your monthly mortgage payments and compliance with the other terms and conditions of your mortgage contract will not ensure that the loan will be fully repaid at the end of the term.
• It is important to ensure that you regularly review the adequacy and performance of your chosen repayment strategy.
