Borrow back mortgage overpayments

We’ll need consent from all account holders to arrange a borrow back. You can ask for a borrow back by calling us on 0800 464 3044 but all borrowers need to be present when you call.

To find out if your particular mortgage has this feature please check your original offer paperwork or see our handy mortgage guide that shows what features apply to our different mortgages.

Once your application has been accepted you’ll receive your borrowed back funds in 3-5 working days.

If you pay your mortgage payments by Direct Debit the money will be transferred to the account you pay your mortgage from and we're unable to send this to any other account. If there’s no Direct Debit set-up we can send the money to an account of your choice.

If you request to borrow back some, or all, of your overpayment reserve, your balance will increase resulting in higher monthly repayments.

When you borrow back, your monthly payments will be recalculated from the 1st of the following month an we’ll start to charge interest on the new balance the day after the money is sent.

If your monthly mortgage payments are made by Direct Debit we’ll automatically change your payment amount. If you make payments by standing order or any other method (e.g. cash/cheque), you’ll need to change your monthly payment to the new amount.

You can use your overpayment reserve to underpay in the future. At the end of the underpayment period your payments will be recalculated, which may mean your monthly mortgage payments will then increase. To arrange a period of underpayments please call us on 0800 30 20 11.

Yes, we’ll need to process the term change first before the borrow back, if you need extend your mortgage term to make your borrow back more affordable.
