The total payable would be £377,163.20, which includes the interest of £197,784, valuation fees of £0 and a product fee of £999. The overall cost for comparison is 6.8% APRC representative.

What types of mortgage can I get with Nationwide Building Society?

  • Fixed rate. Your interest rate remains fixed for set amount of time, providing certainty about the size of your monthly mortgage repayments. Nationwide offers mortgages with fixed-rate periods of two, three, five and ten years.
  • Remortgages. You can switch away from your existing mortgage provider via Nationwide’s remortgage products.
  • Tracker. Your interest will shift up and down at the same rate as the Bank of England base rate.
  • Buy-to-let. This mortgage allows you to buy an additional property and let it out to tenants.
  • Let-to-buy. This mortgage allows you to remortgage your existing property, releasing equity so you can buy a new one.

How to apply

You can apply online, by calling 03457 30 20 10, or by visiting a local branch. For more complex mortgage types, such as shared ownership or Help to Buy mortgages, online applications are not available.

What information is needed to apply?

You’ll need to provide proof of identity, proof of address, proof of UK residency, proof of deposit and proof of earnings.

To back this up, employees will need to provide their latest monthly payslip. If you’re paid weekly or fortnightly, or you receive bonuses or commission, you may need to provide more payslips. Self-employed applicants will need to provide at least two years’ worth of accounts. You may also be asked for up to three months’ worth of recent bank statements.

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, and no older than 75 when the mortgage term is due to end.

All applicants will be subject to an affordability assessment and credit check. If you’ve suffered more than three months of mortgage arrears in the past three years, you’ll be declined. If you’ve suffered an undischarged bankruptcy, a discharged bankruptcy less than three years ago or a property repossession, you’ll be declined.

Contact information

You can make general mortgage enquiries by calling 03457 30 20 10, using the online chat service on nationwide.co.uk, or by visiting a local branch.

Our customer satisfaction scores ("Customers say") are based on a survey of 1,588 customers carried out in December 2022.

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.
