Take a look at the range of mortgages we can offer to help with your plans.
A rate that won’t change for a set time
Choosing a fixed rate mortgage means you won’t be affected if interest rates go up or down for a set number of years.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
A flexible mortgage that follows the market
A tracker mortgage doesn’t tie you down to a fixed rate, so your payments could go up or down.
Put your savings to work with an offset mortgage
Reduce your monthly payments or pay off your mortgage sooner by offsetting other accounts with us against your mortgage balance – find out how.
Save money when you remortgage with us
You could save thousands of pounds when you switch to us from your current lender because we won't charge you application, valuation or standard legal fees.
Buy an energy efficient home and get a lower rate
We’ll reward you with a lower mortgage rate on certain deals when you buy an energy efficient home – it’s just one of the ways we support greener choices.
How do they work?
Pay the mortgage interest each month without reducing the balance. You’ll need to have a realistic plan to repay the balance by the time the mortgage ends.
Buy your home without a borrower deposit
Buy a home without a borrower deposit if your family or loved ones can provide 10% of the property’s price as security.
Buying property with other people
Buying with your partner, family or friends can make sense, so long as you weigh up the benefits and risks of taking out a joint mortgage with others.
Get a helping hand when buying a home
Struggling to save a deposit? Help to Buy could suit you – while our Help to Buy ISA offers a bonus if you’re saving for a deposit on your first home.
Buy a share of a home and pay rent on the rest
Buying a home through shared ownership means you can apply for a smaller mortgage amount – so your deposit could be lower, too.
