Additional Information

Save interest on your mortgage - Flexibility to pay more than your monthly payment or pay off a lump sum

You won't pay a penalty for making lump sum payments or overpayments.
This option offers you the chance to reduce the overall amount of interest you will pay on your mortgage and this will have the impact of reducing the term of your mortgage.

Take advantage of our skip months and payment break options.

Skip months

We offer you the flexibility to have up to 2 months each year where you do not have to make a mortgage repayment. When taking out the mortgage choose to pay 10 increased payments instead of the usual 12. There is no additional fee or charge associated with this 'skip months' option.

Payment break option

You can apply to take a complete break from your mortgage repayments. Provided you have been making monthly payments for 6 consecutive months you can apply for a payment break (subject to conditions and approval).
Please note that interest will still be accrued during payment-free months
