Higher Lending Charge

The Society will purchase a Higher Lending insurance to provide additional security where the amount of the loan exceeds 80% of the valuation of the property.

Overpayments

During the early repayment charge period lump sum overpayments up to 10% of the capital balance per annum may be made without attracting an early repayment charge. Should the total of lump sum overpayments exceed 10% within this period, the excess will attract an early repayment charge.

If an overpayment of £500 or more is made, we will recalculate the monthly payment the following month.
