We are delighted to introduce our first ever 40-year mortgage term to our customers. This move underscores our comittement to supporting aspiring homeowners in their journey onto the housing ladder.
“By extending the mortgage term we aim to help make mortgages more manageable with lower monthly repayments and homeownership a reality for our customers.”

It will be available through mortgage brokers on Wednesday 30 August and customers making direct applications will be able to apply from Wednesday 13 September. This applies to all new residential applications on a capital repayment basis. Any additional borrowing, either standalone or in conjunction with a remortgage can now also be taken over 40-years.
