Clydesdale Bank enhanced interest only criteria

11th July 2016

We are delighted to announce enhancements to our part interest only & part repayment criteria.

Downsizing

Where downsizing is being used as the interest only repayment vehicle for part interest only & part repayment mortgages, the £300,000 equity requirement will now be based on the equity position at the end of the mortgage term.

LTV

For part interest only & part repayment loans of up to £750,000 we will allow a total LTV of 80% with up to 75% LTV available on interest only and the remainder to be taken on capital & interest basis.

For properties in the Greater London area, this is available for loans up to £1,500,000.

The following new products, which are not shown on sourcing systems, are now available directly on our Mortgage Illustration Generator:

For part repayment and part interest only mortgages the term of the Capital & Interest part cannot extend beyond the term of the interest only part where downsizing is the repayment vehicle. In addition, the equity amount will be calculated using the mortgage valuation.

Where any element of the loan is on interest only, our interest only maximum term applies – 25 years to finish before the earlier of age 70 or the customer’s anticipated retirement.
