Interest, fees and loan to value
Interest Charged monthly or quarterly. The fixed interest rate does not change during the fixed rate period. This means your repayments will stay the same during this time.
Break and amendment costs Break or amendment costs may apply if you repay part of or all of your fixed rate loan before the end of the agreed term, or if the terms of your fixed rate loan are amended before the end of the fixed term.
Arrangement fees Discussed upon application.
Security fees Discussed on application. Lending is typically offered on a secured basis. Please note that there will be additional fees when security is required. Fees will be discussed throughout the application process and will depend on your individual circumstances. Security fees are the costs you’ll need to cover so that the Bank can secure the lending. For example, the cost of registering a Legal Charge over a business property.
Max. loan to value We can offer 70% of the market value in funding depending on the sector. For vacant possession properties, we can offer a maximum 80% of the value. Loan to value (LTV) is the ratio of bank funding to the value of the asset over which the Bank will be granted security.

How to apply

  • Please note: All lending is subject to a satisfactory credit assessment and we will need your permission to carry out a credit check on your business and key individuals (including directors and shareholders).

    Any property given as security, which may include your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your loan or other debts secured on the property.

    You should not apply for an amount that you cannot comfortably afford to repay now and in the future to avoid the possibility of legal action.
