Tariff of Charges
No1 CopperPot is closely involved in the mortgage industry’s initiative with UK Finance and Which? to make our fees and charges easy for you to understand.
Our tariff of charges fully reflects the initiative’s good practice principles. This same document is being used across the industry to help customers compare mortgages.
These are the charges and standard costs which you may have to pay us during the life of your mortgage. We’ll tell you of any charges in advance, so you’ll have agreed to them before they become payable. These charges and standard costs can change from time to time.
Any additional charges for services not shown here will be confirmed at the time the services are requested.
Please contact the Mortgage Team on 0161 741 3160 if you require any of the charges explaining or further information.
