Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Mortgages are secured on your home. Our mortgage products can change or be withdrawn at any time and are subject to underwriting.

A fixed rate mortgage is a type of mortgage where the interest rate on your mortgage stays the same, for the duration of your fixed rate deal. This means that if interest rates go up during your fixed rate period, your repayments won’t be affected. After your fixed rate period is complete, you will be moved onto our Standard Variable Rate Mortgage, which means there may be fluctuations to your mortgage costs from time to time. At this stage, you have the option to remortgage or refix on a new deal with No1 Copperpot Credit Union.

Understanding the APRC

The Mortgage Illustration includes an Annual Percentage Rate of Charge, usually called an ‘APRC’. This is an annual interest rate which takes account of fees and charges to reflect the total cost of your mortgage. Your Mortgage Illustration will detail the fees which are included in this calculation. An APRC is calculated using a standard method so it provides an effective way for you to compare quotes from different lenders.

  • Costs to be paid on a one-off basis to No1 CopperPot: £995 mortgage fee
  • The valuation cost is based on a basic mortgage valuation and will need to be met by you before any loan can be agreed and is non-refundable.
  • The solicitor cost will form a part of the overall legal fee you will pay to your solicitor/conveyancer.  Please note, this is based on an estimate and only covers part of the costs of the legal work that you may need to pay.
  • Please note, this APRC is calculated using assumptions.

Loan to Value Breakdown

The Loan to Value is the amount we will lend to you in relation to the amount the property is worth.

Amount Borrowed£25,000 – £300,000Over £300,000 – £400,000Over £400,000 – £500,000
Loan to Value (maximum)Up to 90%Up to 80%Up to 70%

An example following the guidelines above, if you buy a house worth £200,000 we could lend you up to 90% of the property worth (£180,000), and you would need at least £20,000 as a mortgage deposit.

 

Mortgages with your Credit Union

Once your mortgage has been approved we will need a valuation of the property to be completed, by a surveyor of our choice. You must remember to budget for the cost of the valuation as the fee will be required at the start of the process and it is non-refundable in the event of your mortgage not completing. For more information about surveys, please click here. You can also see the tariff of fees from the surveyors typically used at the Credit Union by clicking here. 

A solicitor of your choice will have to be appointed to deal with the legal process and the cost will vary depending on your chosen solicitor and the individual property. 

We also have our full Tariff of Charges available on our website.
