Unless you object to this, any mortgage payments deferred during a payment deferral period will be capitalised to your mortgage. This means that your outstanding mortgage balance will increase and the total amount of interest you pay over the remaining term of your mortgage will also increase. To help you understand what ‘capitalised’ and ‘capitalisation’ mean we’ve included a definition in our frequently asked questions.
There are other options available to you if you don’t want to add the capitalised amount to your mortgage. You can choose to:
• Repay the amount now as a single lump sum.
• Repay the amount over a shorter period of time by increasing your monthly payment.
• Discuss the possibility of arranging an extension to your mortgage term. Before any term extension can be agreed, we’ll need to talk with you to gain a full understanding of your circumstances.
How these options work:
Paying a lump sum
Before we can recalculate your monthly payment you’ll need to repay the capitalised amount. Please call us on 03451 220033 to speak to a member of the team who’ll confirm this payment amount. Once we’ve received your payment, we’ll write to you confirming your new monthly payment amount.
You can choose to pay the lump sum by debit card or by bank transfer.
Debit card payments:
You’ll need a debit card in your name and registered to the security address, or the correspondence address we hold if you have a buy to let mortgage. Please note we’re unable to accept payments from credit cards.
Bank transfer payments:
To make a payment by bank transfer, please call us on 03451 220033 to confirm the relevant bank details.
Increasing your monthly payment amount
If you’d rather not capitalise your deferred payments, which could mean you reduce the amount of interest charged over the term of your mortgage, we can make arrangements with you to increase your normal monthly payment amount so that you repay the capitalised amount over a shorter period of time. This will reduce the amount of interest charged over the term of your mortgage as a result of the payment deferral. To discuss this option further, please contact a member of the team on 03451 220033.
