Things you should know

After you've made interest-only payments for 6 months:

  • You'll automatically switch back to paying both your mortgage's capital and interest charges.
  • We'll recalculate your payments to include the capital not repaid during the temporary interest-only period, so you'll still repay the full balance at the end of the mortgage term.

Making this temporary change will not affect your credit score Your credit score can be affected if you choose a new mortgage which involves additional borrowing, or by other factors including how much credit you use, your payment history and applications for credit elsewhere..
