Representative example

A mortgage of £247,000.00 payable over 20 years on our Standard Variable Rate currently at 8.14% with a discount of 2.35%, giving a current rate payable of 5.79% for 24 months, followed by our Standard Variable Rate currently at 8.14% for the remainder of the mortgage term. This would require 24 monthly payments of £1,747.07, followed by 216 payments of £2,067.87. The total amount payable would be £489,083.12 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£240,555.12), an application fee of £199, a completion fee of £999, a valuation fee of £200, a mortgage funds release fee of £35 and a mortgage exit fee of £95.
