YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
Our mortgage products can change or be withdrawn at any time and are subject to underwriting.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 deal. This means that if interest rates go up, your repayments won’t be affected. After your fixed rate period is complete, you will be moved onto our Standard Variable Rate Mortgage. At this stage you may have the option to remortgage or refix, if you desire to have another fixed rate product (subject to affordability).

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 – £300,000 Over £300,000 – £400,000 Over £400,000 – £500,000
Loan to Value (maximum) Up to 95% 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 95% of the property worth (£180,000), and you would need at least £10,000 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.

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.
