Why has my monthly payment amount changed?
There are several events that could occur throughout the year that could result in your mortgage payment amount increasing at annual review. Some common reasons are:
-
If your mortgage product is due to end shortly
If the product is due to end between the 1st January and mid-February, your new payment from March will be calculated based on the follow on product stated in your mortgage offer, e.g. our Standard Variable Rate (SVR). -
If there has been some missed payments during the previous year
This applies when we’ve received fewer payments than the total payments due, for example we should have received 12 payments but only received 10. -
If you’re on Offset Option 1 and there has been a reduction in your Offset savings balance since the last time the monthly payment was calculated
-
If fees have debited your mortgage account but have not been repaid
-
Your Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance premiums may have increased
-
If your preferred monthly payment date is after the expiry date of your mortgage and so the last payment won’t be collected
For example, if a mortgage term is 18 years, starting from 16 July 2016, it is expected that 216 payments will be paid from the outset of the mortgage (18 years x 12 months) excluding the initial interest. The term of the mortgage will expire on 15 July 2033, but as the preferred payment date is set at the 24th of the month, the last payment we will receive will be in June 2034. This means that only 215 full monthly payments will be made in total. Therefore, the monthly payment would increase to take into account the payment that won’t be made.
Can I change the date I make my mortgage payments?
What should I do if I can’t afford to make my monthly payment?
What should I do if my interest only mortgage term is coming to an end but I don’t think I can pay the outstanding balance?
Why has my mortgage balance increased?
There are a number of reasons why your mortgage balance may have increased:
-
If you‘ve missed any mortgage payments, or reduced your mortgage payment amount, the balance of your mortgage will continue to accrue interest. This would also be the case if you have taken a payment holiday.
-
If you’ve chosen to add fees to your mortgage account rather than pay them separately, this will increase the outstanding mortgage balance.
