Change your mortgage term

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.

  • We use these assumptions in our calculator:

    • All years have 365 days.
    • Interest is calculated monthly.
    • All sub-accounts have been calculated individually.
    • The estimate of total amount payable is to the nearest pound.
    • Any interest rate changes haven’t been taken into account.
    • There are no other changes to your mortgage which would need a recalculation.

What do you want to do?

Let's help you get to the right place.
 

  • 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. 

    If you want to cancel after six months, please see ‘I want to reduce my mortgage term.’

    Important: If you revert to your term, your monthly payments will increase as you’ll be repaying the mortgage balance over a shorter term.


    Would you like to change anything else at the same time?

    For example, you could make changes to your interest rate, repayment type or any life and critical illness policies you may have.

    NO - there's nothing else I need to change
