1. General
1.1 This Agreement becomes binding on You, when both You and Us have signed it.
1.2 When the loan is made We will open an account in your name(s) and debit it with the amount of the Total Loan overleaf.
1.3 Your obligations under this Agreement will be secured by the Mortgage Deed or Standard Security where the property is located in Scotland which we have sent to you separately.
2. Interest
2.1 Interest will be calculated daily on the balance outstanding on Your account and Will be debited to Your account monthly in arrears. The rate of interest charged Is set out overleaf and is subject to variation in accordance with clause 2.2 below.
2.2 We may from time to time vary our interest rate. We may increase or reduce our interest rate for one or more of the following reasons:
(a) to reflect a change which has occurred, or which we reasonably think will occur in the costs of funds used in our business;
(b) to ensure that Our business is carried out prudently, efficiently and competitively;
(c) to reflect a change in the law or a decision by a court;
(d) to reflect regulatory requirements or guidance.
2.3 The interest rate on your account will not, in any 6 month period, vary by more than twice any variation in the published Bank of England base rate during the same period. If for any reason the Bank of England cease to publish a base rate We may refer the variation in Our interest rate to any other base rate which in Our reasonable opinion best matched that rate.
3. Payments
3.1 All payments by you must be made by Direct Debit. Payments may be made by other methods with Our consent only.
3.2 You agree to make the payments shown overleaf in full when due and without being asked.
3.3 Your monthly repayment shown overleaf may be varied either (a) in the event that the interest rate is varied in accordance with clause 2.2 above or (b) in the case of the last monthly repayment to ensure the loan is repaid in full at the end of the Repayment Term. If we agree to change the date of your monthly repayment, we may also vary the amount of the monthly repayment to ensure that Your loan will be paid in full, subject to any accrued charges, on the
date on which the last of the monthly payments is due.
4. Capital Repayments
4.1 You may make one partial early repayment of capital in any 12 month period provided:-
4.1.1 you obtain our prior written consent. We will then provide you with a statement showing the maximum amount of partial early repayment allowed without incurring any Capital Repayment Charge. The statement provided will be valid for 60 days, notwithstanding any regular monthly repayments made in the interim; and
4.1.2 the payment is at least £1,000.
No charges will apply to these partial early repayments unless they fall under Clause 4.2 and whenever a partial early repayment is made a fee will be charged to cover our administration published in our then current customer fee structure and will be deducted from your early repayment.
4.2 Partial early repayments of capital greater than 10% of the balance outstanding will attract a Capital Repayment Charge calculated in the same way as the early redemption charge set out in Clause 5.2 below but using interest on the amount of the partial early repayment which is greater than 10% of the balance rather than the Total Loan. Where the partial early repayment is made
before the end of 36th month after the making of the loan the Capital Repayment Charge will be an amount equal to 6 months interest (at the rate in force at the date of early repayment) charged on the amount of the partial early repayment. If the partial early repayment is made in month 37 the Capital Repayment Charge will be an amount equal to 5 months interest (at the rate in force at the date of early repayment) charged on the amount of the partial early repayment. Thereafter for each additional complete year the loan is in place the amount of the Capital Repayment Charge will be reduced by one month from five months until the loan has been in place for eight years, after which time there will be no Capital Repayment Charge for partial early repayments.
4.3 Where the optional PPP is selected the whole (and not part) of the cashback paid under the terms of the policy may be applied against the balance of the Total Loan without incurring any charge provided there have been no partial early repayments in the preceding 12 month period.
4.4 Partial early repayments of capital will be applied to your account firstly in settlement of any arrears (including default charges), then in payment of Capital Repayment Charges and then in reduction of your capital balance.
4.5 When a partial early repayment of capital is made, we will either reduce the term of your Loan or recalculate your monthly payments at your option.
4.6 Partial early repayments which reduce the balance remaining on your Total Loan to less than 10% of the original Loan amount will not be permitted.
5. Early Repayment
5.1 If you wish to discharge your obligations under this Agreement you may do so at Any time by paying to Us a sum, the Early Redemption Figure, calculated in Accordance with clause 5.2 below plus a Security Release Fee or Discharge Fee as published in our customer fee structure.
5.2 If You settle before the end of the 36th month after the making of the loan, the Early Redemption Figure will be the sum of the balance of the Total Loan (including all charges and arrears due, if any) plus interest up to the date of settlement, plus an amount equal to 6 months interest(at the rate in force at the date of settlement) charged on the Total Loan. If you settle the Loan in month 37 the Early Redemption Figure will be the sum of the balance of the Total
Loan (including all charges and arrears due, if any) plus interest up to the date of settlement, plus an amount equal to 5 months’ interest (at the rate in force at the date of settlement) charged on the Total Loan. Thereafter for each additional complete year the loan is in place prior to settlement, the amount of interest added to the balance plus interest up to the date of settlement will reduce by one month from five months until the loan has been in place for eight years after which the Early Redemption Figure will be the balance (including all charges and
arrears due, if any) plus interest up to the date of settlement.
6. Default
6.1 If any monthly repayment remains unpaid for more than 7 days after it’s due date We may give notice to you requiring payment by a specified date not less than 7 days later.

Credit and Insurance Products Only
We will check your details with a fraud prevention agency / agencies. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law Enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:

Please contact us at Trafalgar House, 5 Fitzalan Place, Cardiff, CF24 0ED, if you want to receive
details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies. We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. A copy of any personal data held by our agencies can be made available to you, on payment of a fee. You have a legal right to see these details. For more details write to the Data Controller at the address

Credit Products Only
Credit reference agencies collate information about how people in a household manage the money they borrow from lenders, whether it be a mortgage, personal loan, credit card, overdraft or any other type of loan.
When making lending decisions we will carry out a search with one or more licensed credit reference agencies who will retain a record of the search which will be seen by other organisations that make searches. This information will be used in a decision making process called “credit scoring”. If your
application is declined you may have a right of appeal. We may also make further searches during the term of the Agreement to assist in the management of your account.
Information held about you and your account by the credit reference agencies may already be linked or “associated” to records relating to your partner or anyone that you may be financially “associated” with. Your ability to obtain credit will be influenced by the records held by the credit reference agency
on you or any person associated with you in this way.
Another person’s records will be “associated” with yours by us when:
- You make a joint application
- You advise us of a financial association with another person
- If the credit reference agencies have existing linked or associated records
This “association” will link your records at the credit reference agencies and will be taken into account in all future applications by either or both of you. This shall continue until one of you applies to the credit reference agencies and is successful in filing a “disassociation”.
You MUST therefore ensure when making a joint application or advising us of some other financial association that you are entitled to:
- Disclose information about your joint applicant and anyone referred to by you
- Authorise us to search, link or record information at (a) credit reference agency/ies about you and any one referred to by you
On a monthly basis, we will give credit reference agencies details about payments you make to us and the status of your account, to help us and other lenders make credit decisions about you (and the people associated with you) in the future. If you exceed agreed limits, and the amount owed is not in dispute, and you fail to make satisfactory repayment proposals following our formal demand, we may register this with credit reference agencies.
Insurance Products Only
Some of the insurance products we offer are underwritten by other insurance companies. We will therefore need to pass this information to them to help administer your policy. Where this is the case, we will make the insurance company known to you. |
