TYPICAL EXAMPLE

Borrowers applying for a mortgage of Ł85,000 on a repayment basis over 25 years to buy a house valued at Ł100,000. Assuming completion takes place on 5th August 2002, gross monthly repayments for the 36 month discounted rate period would be Ł472 followed by 264 monthly repayments of Ł532 for the remaining term of the mortgage. This example and the APR have been prepared on the assumption that the interest rate applicable at the start of the mortgage term will continue throughout but not after the discounted rate period and that the Society’s standard variable rate applicable at the publication date (5.69%) will be applied for the remainder of the mortgage term without variation.

The interest rate is variable throughout the mortgage term. The premiums, charges and fees are also variable. The APR and repayments would, of course, be different if the Society’s standard variable interest rate changes.

This is based on an interest rate of 4.49%.
The APR for the whole loan would be 5.6% variable.

The total amount repayable to the Society by monthly repayments would be Ł157,405.
This includes:

Initial amount borrowed Ł85,000
Discharge fee Ł55

If the mortgage is redeemed within the first 3 years, there will be an early repayment charge equivalent to 6 months’ additional interest on the balance outstanding. This additional interest will be charged at the rate that applied to the account at that time.

It is likely, in practice, that the Society’s standard variable interest rate will change on a number of occasions during the term of the mortgage. The APRs and payments set out in these examples would, of course, then be different.
