Pay off your mortgage & close your account

Whether you’re coming to the end of your term or just want to pay off your mortgage early, here’s what you need to know.

You’ll receive a letter from us before your mortgage ends. We’ll let you know how much you need to pay to close your account(s), including any Early Repayment Charge and fees due – read our Tariff of Mortgage Charges for details.

You can pay off your mortgage (known as redeeming), in full at any time. You’ll need to ask us for a redemption statement so you know how much to pay to close your account(s) including any Early Repayment Charge and fees due – see our Tariff of Mortgage Charges for details.

You can request your statement:

It’s worth thinking about your wider finances before paying off your mortgage early. We recommend speaking with an independent financial adviser (IFA) if you want financial advice.

You can make your final payment through your hub or below. If your payment is over £12,000, please make your payment by bank transfer.

Cancelling your direct debit

When you make your final payment, it can take a few days to show on your account. If you pay by direct debit, we’ll cancel it within five working days of receiving your payment.

Make a payment

Important:If you have a direct debit due within ten days of making your final payment, we may be unable to stop it. You’ll need enough money in your bank account to pay the amount due and avoid any fees being charged by your bank. We’ll automatically arrange a refund ten days from receipt of the direct debit, so there’s no need to get in touch.

  • You, if you’re not using a solicitor. We’ll send you a form to sign before returning them.

You can see whether we hold your deeds in your hub.
