Mortgage Fees

Early Repayment Charge

If you pay off your mortgage in full or make overpayments in excess of the amount agreed by your lender at the outset you may be asked to pay an early repayment charge by your lender.

This charge is raised in order to recover any losses or costs incurred by your lender as a result of your early payment.

Arrangement Fee

These are usually charged by the lender when arranging a loan on certain products. They can usually be added to the loan.

A higher arrangement fee will often provide a lower interest rate, however it is not always worth the extra cost. Speak to one of our advisors for advice on this matter.

Valuation Fee

This fee is for an independent assessment of the value of a property carried out by an approved surveyor and paid for by you the customer.

All lenders insist that a valuation is carried out on a property. The valuation is used by the bank or building society to decide how much they are willing to lend you.

Higher Lending Charge

This is the term used for insurance for the lender for you defaulting on your payments when your property is worth less than the loan or in some cases this charge is payable when you are only able to pay a small deposit.

There are many mortgages that do not carry this charge and based on your situation it is possible that this type of charge can be avoided altogether.

A mortgage is a loan secured against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
