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.

What types of mortgage does Vernon Building Society provide?

  • Fixed-rate mortgages. Vernon Building Society offers fixed-rate deals with terms of three years or five years. These could appeal if you’re looking for your mortgage repayments to be consistent. The maximum loan-to-value is 95%, although you’ll secure a better rate with a larger deposit. Some products have an arrangement fee attached. After the fixed-rate period ends, you’ll be automatically switched to Vernon Building Society’s standard variable rate.
  • Discount mortgages. These mortgages will be fixed at a specific percentage below the lender’s standard variable rate for a term of either two or three years. After this term ends, you’ll be switched onto the standard variable rate. The maximum loan-to-value is 95%, although you’ll secure a better rate with a larger deposit. Some products have an arrangement fee attached.
  • Offset mortgages. An offset mortgage with a three-year fixed rate is available for those with a Vernon Building Society savings account. Rather than pay interest on your savings, the lender will offset your mortgage balance by the amount in your account. The account has a maximum loan-to-value of 80% and an arrangement fee is attached. After three years, you’ll be switched onto the lender’s standard variable rate.
  • Retirement mortgages. Vernon Building Society has special deals designed for those aged over 55. These mortgages come with a five-year fixed rate, before reverting to the lender’s standard variable rate. The maximum loan-to-value is 50%.
  • Family assist mortgages. The family assist mortgage is a four-year discount mortgage, which allows the customer to borrow 100% of the property value, provided a family member can deposit 20% of the property value in a Vernon Building Society savings account. The money will be released back to the family member after a minimum of four years.
  • Buy-to-let mortgages. The lender offers a five-year fixed-rate mortgage and three-year discount mortgage for buy-to-let properties. These products have a maximum loan-to-value of 75% and an arrangement fee is attached.
  • Interest-only mortgages. Vernon Building Society offers residential and buy-to-let mortgages in an interest-only format. You’ll need a larger deposit to qualify, and will have to show evidence of your strategy to pay off your balance at the end of the mortgage term.
