Paying off your mortgage early

Pay off your mortgage in full any time before the term ends. This is also known as redeeming.

First you need to get a settlement figure in Online Banking, our Mobile Banking app or by phone. 
You can get this for any date in the next 28 days. This’ll show a breakdown of any fees and charges you need to pay.

Paying off your mortgage in full

Once you’ve got your settlement figure and want to go ahead, here’s what will happen:

  1. We’ll send you a mortgage redemption statement which shows how much you owe. This is how much you’ll need to pay off your mortgage in full.
  2. After you’ve paid off your mortgage, we’ll close your account within 13 business days. It’ll also take a few days for your mortgage balance to update online.
  3. If you’d like us to confirm things in writing, make sure you ask for a closing statement. We’ll send you this once we’ve closed the mortgage account.

Early repayment charge

You'll pay an early repayment charge (ERC) if any part of your mortgage is still on a fixed rate deal when you pay it off. To find out if this applies to you, see your latest mortgage offer or annual mortgage statement. Or take a look in Online Banking or our Mobile Banking app. When you ask for a settlement figure, we'll tell you if you have an ERC to pay and how much it is.

If you have an ERC, we may not charge it if:

  • you need to move home or no longer need a mortgage because you’ve been diagnosed with a critical or terminal illness. For example, dementia or cancer.
  • your personal or financial situation has changed due to things out of your control.
