Amending the term of your mortgage

You could lower your monthly payments by making your mortgage term longer, or pay less interest overall by choosing a shorter term.

Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage

Want to change the term of your mortgage?

For residential mortgages, you apply to increase your mortgage term via the app or online banking.

However, if you:

  • Have a buy to let mortgage
  • Any part of your mortgage is interest only
  • Want to reduce your mortgage term
  • Would like advice on changing your term

You'll need to call us to book an appointment with our mortgage team to complete the application.

Information Message

The longer your mortgage term the more interest you will pay over the life of the mortgage. If you’re worried about keeping up with your payments, please contact us so we can help. You can also visit our Mortgage Support hub for more information.
