Things to consider

Are there any risks?

A mortgage has one key difference to other loans - it is secured against your home. If you can't keep up with your monthly repayments or you get into financial difficulties, we would work with you to sort something out, but as a last resort, we can sell your home to recover the money we lent you.

Please remember, house prices can go down as well as up. If you owe more than the current value of your home, you will be in negative equity. If you need to move home and sell your property, and if its value has dropped below what you paid for it, there may be a shortfall between the amount you owe on your mortgage and the amount you get for the sale which you will need to repay.

For telephone line opening times, please read the information in our contact section. Calls may be monitored and recorded for security and training purposes.

Our tracker rate mortgages are linked to Bank of England Bank Rate (also known as Bank of England repo rate). Details of this rate can be found on the Bank of England website or in the Financial Times or other leading newspapers.
