Available products

Any property used as security, which may include your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage

All loans are subject to status and secured against property. Sometimes, other additional security may be required. We do not lend to offshore companies. Your interest rate will be linked to the Bank of England Base Rate, or you can choose from a range of fixed rates (early repayment charges, an arrangement fee and other fees will usually apply).
 

Our charges

Early repayment charges

You can pay off your mortgage early whenever you want, but you will have to pay an early repayment charge if you repay all or part of your mortgage within a specified period. Additional interest will be payable in the event of early redemption of the mortgage. Please contact Commercial Lending on 01733 372 425 to discuss what Early Repayment Charges are applicable to our products.
