An early repayment charge applies for some mortgage deals. This means you will face a charge if you make extra payments or change more than a certain amount of the loan's capital balance (as at 1 January) in any one year.
The limit on any extra payments you can make each year before the charge applies is 10% of the mortgage balance. This means if you have a mortgage subject to an early repayment charge you can pay up to 10% of your mortgage balance before incurring the charge, 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 mortgage deal.
The 10% overpayments limit is a concession and could be withdrawn at any time.
