General lending points

In addition to the specific information that will be taken into account in agreeing a mortgage, 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

  • You cannot change the term over which your mortgage is due to run.

If the property you are buying is new-build (i.e. was first occupied less than six months ago).

  • The most you can borrow is 80% of the value of your home.

If you’re switching your existing mortgage from another lender (remortgaging):

  • You must have owned the property for at least six months by the time your new mortgage starts.
  • And if you are borrowing more at the same time as moving your mortgage, the most you can borrow in total is 80% of  the value of your home .

If you’re borrowing more than 75% of your home’s value:

  • You must take out your whole mortgage on a repayment basis, not interest-only.
  • This applies whether the mortgage you want is to move home or you’re switching your existing mortgage to us.  It’s because a repayment mortgage offers you more certainty of clearing your mortgage by the end of the term.

If you’re borrowing 75% or less of your home’s value:

  • You can arrange your mortgage, or part of it, on an interest-only basis.
     
Fee Amount Brief description
Application fee £99 You'll need to pay this non-refundable fee if you're buying a new property or moving to a C&G mortgage from another lender. 
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 £1 million 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.

Early Repayment Charges

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 01/03/10 5%
01/03/10 - 28/02/11 5%
01/03/11 - 28/02/12 4%
01/03/12 - 28/02/13 3%
01/03/13 - 28/02/14 2%

At the end of the fixed-rate period

Your loan will switch to the Standard Variable Mortgage Rate, 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.
