Help and Support
It is important to deal with any money worries as soon as you can. Our specially trained
colleagues are by your side to support you when needed.
Mortgage Charter
We have signed up to the government’s Mortgage Charter. This means we’ve agreed to work closely with the government to give mortgage customers the right support.
These options are available as part of the Mortgage Charter. They won’t impact your credit score.
Making interest only payments or extending your mortgage term will mean paying more interest overall. You should continue with your current monthly payments if you can manage them comfortably.
For support, please call 0800 074 4452

Need a bit of time to get your budget back on track?
Switch to interest only payments for six months, with no impact on your credit score.
How it works
- You’ll make interest only payments towards your mortgage for six months, with no impact on your credit score.
- You can cancel at any point, but you can only apply once.
- Your monthly payments will increase at the end of the reduced payment period to collect the amount you haven’t paid.
- You’ll pay back more on your mortgage overall if you make interest only payments for six months.
- If you miss an interest only payment and don’t catch up, we might cancel the arrangement.
-
You may be able to change your mortgage term to help manage your monthly payments. Just bear in mind that extending your term usually means you’ll pay more in interest charges over the duration of your mortgage.
Extending your mortgage term will mean you pay more over the term of your mortgage.
As part of the Mortgage Charter, if you extend your mortgage term, you’re able to change back to your original term within the first six months without going through affordability checks.
If you’ve made any other changes to your mortgage, such as additional borrowing, more checks might be needed.
Important: If you revert to your term, your monthly payments will increase as you’ll be repaying the mortgage balance over a shorter term.
-
You can temporarily make interest only payments for a maximum of six months, to give you some time to get back on track with your budget. With a term extension, you could make reduced payments for longer. Both options mean you’ll pay back more overall, but a term extension could mean you’ll be paying your mortgage later on in life.
If you extend your mortgage term past your planned retirement age, we’ll need to ask you some questions about your income. You can choose to go back to your original term within the first six months without an affordability check.
