Stephen Leather, Director of Sales, says: “We anticipate very large volumes of demand for these new discount deals which will be right up there with the market leading rates. At such highly competitive prices, we expect customers to snap them up quickly.”

There is an early repayment charge on both the three-year and five-year discount mortgages of 3.0% of the amount repaid during the discount period.

There is an application fee of £195 for qualifying existing members* and £295 for other applicants. Of this, £75 is payable ‘up front’ and is non-refundable. The balance is paid on completion or can be added to the loan. A ‘standard’ valuation fee is charged on these discount deals.
