What to do if your interest-only mortgage term has ended

As you have reached the end of your term, any interest-only parts of your mortgage should have been repaid.

If you think you won't be able to repay all, or part, of your interest-only mortgage - call us today and we’ll help you understand what solutions may be available to you.

Every day we help customers who thought they had no options to make a plan.

If your residential mortgage (not applicable to Buy To Let mortgages) term ends between 20th March 2020 and the 31st October 2021, one option is to delay repaying the full amount until up to 31st Oct 2021.

If your term ends between these dates and you want to discuss this option, call us on the number below

Please note: If you have missed any payments without our agreement and your account is not up to date, you will not qualify. If you do take the option to delay the repayment of your mortgage, we’ll continue to collect your monthly payments and charge interest until you pay the amount you owe. You can repay at any time before 31st October 2021 and the sooner you do, the less interest you’ll pay.

You must repay everything you owe at the end of your interest-only term. If you can’t do this, your property may have to be sold.

You need to call us so we can agree a solution with you. Call us on 0345 609 8951. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturday 8am - 1pm.
