Representative Example

A mortgage of £280,000 payable over 23 years initially on a variable rate which is 0.15% above our Standard Variable Rate, currently 4.74%, giving a pay rate of 4.89% for 2 years and then on our Standard Variable Rate of 4.74% for the remaining 21 years would require 24 payments of £1,147.21 and 252 payments of £1,765.95

The total amount payable would be £475,269.44 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£191,028.44), a product fee (£1,499),  a valuation fee (£310), legal fees (£312), an exit fee (£100), a Build Loan security fee (£1,300), a Build Loan packager fee (£695) and a funds transfer fee (£25).
