Overall representative example
If you borrow £178,000 over a 25-year term at 4.56% p.a. (fixed) for 60 months reverting to 7.50% p.a. (variable) for the remaining term, you would make 60 monthly payments of £995.45 and 240 monthly payments of £1261.11. The total payable would be £362,773.40, which includes the interest of £184,393, valuation fees of £0 and a product fee of £0. The overall cost for comparison is 6.4% APRC representative.
Think carefully before securing debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
