We have today announced our shortened early repayment charges on our long-term fixed rate mortgage range for the 50-90+ age group, making the products more appealing to borrowers.

The new ERCs have been shortened on our 10-year, 20-year and fixed for life products. This delivers a great level of flexibility giving customers far more options. 

Borrowers now have the option to end the mortgage early with no penalty if their circumstances change or they wish to refinance to another lender.

If the borrower experiences a major life event, such as having to sell the property due to the death of a partner or moving into long term care, there are no early repayment charges at all.

All ERCs will be visible on mortgage sourcing systems.

Alison Pallett, Managing Director of Sales at LiveMore said:

“We have shortened our early repayment charges, so borrowers are not tied in for the whole term of a longer-fixed rate, which often puts people off taking them out. We know circumstances change and if customers wish to redeem their mortgage earlier than the fixed rate term, these new ERCs are much more palatable.

“The 10-year fixes are really gaining in popularity, and we wanted to make this product more appealing. People want the security of knowing their monthly payments won’t rise for the next decade and now they know they can redeem their mortgage penalty free after just five years.

“Long-term fixes are a sensible option for many at the moment as rates are rising and will continue to increase, at least for the foreseeable future.”

 

“All of our products are portable and come with an option to overpay by up to 10% each year, customers can even take a six-month payment holiday.”
