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 Our mortgage products can change or be withdrawn at any time and are subject to underwriting.

This mortgage has no early repayment or over-payment fees. This allows you to repay your mortgage as fast as you wish, without being penalised to do so.

Our Standard Variable Rate Mortgage (SVR) is a managed interest rate which is set by us and is not directly linked to the Bank of England Base Rate. The rate on our SVR is variable, which means your mortgage rate can change and your payments could go up or down. These changes are influenced by a number of different factors, and may not happen at the same time as any change to the Bank of England Base Rate.

*APRC stands for the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge. It is an annual interest rate which takes account of fees and charges to reflect the total cost of your mortgage. The APRC allows you to easily compare quotes from different lenders.

 


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.

  • We do not charge any fees for this mortgage.
  • 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.

Mortgage repayment examples

The following examples are based on a £200,000 mortgage to be repaid over a 30 year term. The examples compare the difference between the cost of the product fee when paid upfront and when it’s added to the mortgage. Please note, the standard variable rate indicated below may not be the applicable interest rate for the full mortgage term.

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.

Loan to Value Breakdown

This breakdown allows you to work out how much of a deposit you will need to go towards your mortgage, depending on the amount you wish to borrow.  The Loan to Value is the percentage of the amount we will lend to you, in relation to the amount the property is worth.

An example following the guidelines below, 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. 

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%
