Retention Only Discount Mortgage – Standard Variable Rate (SVR) less 3.00% for 5 Years

Generally only available for esbs mortgage borrowers looking to switch an existing mortgage product which completed more than one year ago

• 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 3.00% meaning you would pay a rate of 5.39% (8.39% – 3.00% 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
• The overall cost for comparison is 7.3% APRC representative*
• No Arrangement or Product Transfer Fee
• There is a floor of 2.5% on this mortgage which means that the rate of interest charged will not fall below 2.5%
• 95% maximum loan to value
• There is an Early Repayment Charge if the mortgage is redeemed or rearranged in the first 3 years, calculated as follows:
  • 2% of the redemption balance is payable within the first 2 years
  • 1.5% of the redemption balance is payable in year 3
• Available only for esbs mortgage borrowers looking to switch an existing mortgage to this product and to those on the Society’s Self-build product once the property build is completed
• Any Early Repayment Charge (ERC) due on the current product will be waived provided there is no more than six months before the ERC period ends. If the ERC period on the current product has more than six months left then we will waive 50% of that ERC

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