• The Society’s discounted Standard Variable rate (SVR) mortgage schemes have their interest rate set at a specified “discount” level below our Standard Variable Rate (currently 8.39%) for a specific initial scheme period.
  • The initial scheme period for this product is 5 years meaning that the discount applies over a 5 year period. In this 5 year period the discount is 2.50% meaning you would pay a rate of 5.89% (8.39% – 2.50% discount). However, if the SVR rate increases you would have a higher interest rate than the rate quoted above and your monthly repayments would increase. Conversely, if the SVR rate decreased, you may have a lower interest rate than the rates quoted above and your monthly repayments may decrease. From Year 6 onwards the rate will be at the Society’s SVR meaning the rate then changes to what the SVR is at that time
