Mortgage Payment Holiday Request
If you’ve already taken a payment holiday we’ll be in contact soon to ask if you need a further payment holiday. Please do not use this form to request a further holiday.
In these uncertain times our primary concern is to support our customers. Here’s some important things you need to know about our payment holidays to make sure it’s appropriate for you:
- Available for our first charge, second charge and buy to let mortgages
- Available as fully deferred payment, partially reduced payment or interest only repayment
- Arrangements are temporary, initially set for 3 months
- Interest will continue to accrue on your mortgage and be charged at your current interest rate
- More interest will accrue on your mortgage as there will be a higher outstanding balance
- Your monthly payments will increase after the payment holiday, this will depend on your mortgage balance, term and interest rate. Here is an example of how it works:
Current Balance |
£150,000 |
Mortgage term |
20 years |
Interest rate |
3.4% |
Monthly payment before |
£875 |
Monthly payment after |
£890 |

- We’ll contact you 1 month before the end of your payment holiday to agree how the additional payments will be added to your mortgage payments
- Additional interest accrued will need to repaid within your existing mortgage term
- Repayment arrangements will be discussed and reviewed on an individual basis at the end of the holiday period
- Your credit report will not be affected as long as your mortgage was not already in arrears
- If your direct debit payment is due within next 10 days you’ll need to contact your bank to cancel it
