The rate you pay will stay the same each month until a set date, whatever happens to interest rates generally.
For information on the benefits, and to see if you’re eligible for a C&G Buy-to-Let mortgage, see our considerations section.
Because the property isn’t your main home, this type of mortgage is not regulated by the FSA. However, the same principles of good lending practice are applied to all mortgages with the aim of providing the same high standards of service.
Please note that these deals can be withdrawn at any time. A deal is not secured until we have received your completed paper application form.
For loans of between £5,000 and £1,000,000 and up to 75% of your home's value
Please check the date the rate is fixed until as, depending on when your loan starts, it may not be exactly 3 years - it may be slightly more or slightly less
In addition to the specific information that will be taken into account in agreeing a mortgage or additional borrowing, such as the value of your property and your income, there are some other general points that currently apply to all C&G mortgages which you need to know about:
Within six months of your C&G mortgage starting:
If you’re switching your existing mortgage from another lender (remortgaging):
If you’re borrowing 75% or less of your home’s value:
| Fee | Amount | Brief description |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | £99 | You'll need to pay this non-refundable fee if you're buying a new property, moving to a C&G mortgage from another lender or are an existing C&G or Lloyds TSB mortgage customer borrowing more. |
| Product fee | As shown in the Overview tab | With some of our mortgage deals there's a product fee to pay, with others there isn't. Usually, there's a choice, and you can get a lower rate in return for paying a fee or no fee and a higher rate. Where a product fee applies, it will be added to your new mortgage. You can then pay the fee off if you want to, or leave it on your mortgage to spread the cost. If you pay it off within 30 days of the start of your mortgage, no interest will be charged on it. If you leave it on your mortgage, interest will be charged on it as part of your main mortgage. |
| Valuation fee | Dependant on property value | Payable if you're buying a new property or, if your loan is for £500,001 or more and you are moving to a C&G mortgage from another lender. |
| Transfer of funds fee | £35 | You'll need to pay this non-refundable fee for the transfer of money when your mortgage starts if you're buying a property, switching your mortgage from another lender, or are an existing C&G or Lloyds TSB mortgage customer borrowing more. |

An Early Repayment Charge applies during the fixed-rate period. This means you will face a charge if you repay or change more than 10% of the loan's capital balance (as at 1 January) in any one year. You can repay up to 10% each year without the charge applying (unless you go on to repay or change the rest of the loan within the next six months). The charge varies depending on how long you have left on your fixed-rate - see the table below.
| Repayment Period* | Charge (% of amount repaid or changed) |
|---|---|
| Before 01/10/11 | 3% |
| 01/10/11 - 30/09/12 | 3% |
| 01/10/12 - 30/09/13 | 2% |
Your loan will switch to the Buy-to-Let Variable Rates, which at that time, could be higher or lower than the rate you will have been paying and may vary over the remaining term of your mortgage.
