Having a little flexibility can make a huge difference to managing your mortgage. That's why, regardless of the mortgage deal you choose you could:
Have your interest worked out on a daily basis
Make overpayments
You can make an overpayment at any time. You only have to pay a charge when the mortgage product you have chosen is subject to an early repayment charge. Even then you can pay up to 10% of the amount on that product in any 12-month rolling period free of charge

Make underpayments
Great peace of mind if you need a little breathing space with your monthly payments for a while. You can make underpayments up to the amount of any previous overpayments. If you make underpayments you are still charged interest on your mortgage balance during this period.

Take a payment holiday
Ideal if you would like a short break from your regular mortgage payments. Available for a period of between one and six months over the life of the mortgage. You need to have had your mortgage for at least three months and be up to date on your payments. If you have a second charge on the property or the 'loan to valuation' exceeds our criteria you won't be eligible for a payment holiday. If you take a payment holiday you are still charged interest on your mortgage balance during this period.

Change your repayment term
You could choose to repay your mortgage over up to 40 years to help reduce your monthly mortgage payment. Equally, you can reduce your mortgage term to pay the mortgage off earlier. Just bear in mind that the longer you take to repay your mortgage, the more interest you'll be charged

Add any fees to your mortgage
For example, if you choose a mortgage deal with a product fee you don't have to pay this upfront. You can add it on to your mortgage but you'll be charged interest

Have your interest worked out on a daily basis
We calculate the interest we charge you on a daily, rather than an annual basis. This could save you money

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
