What happens if I repay my mortgage early?
The charges that are made will depend upon the type of product you have chosen and when you decide to repay your mortgage. Some of our mortgage products may include an early repayment charge, more details are available in the product literature for each product.

Does the Cheshire charge Mortgage Arrangement fees?
The Cheshire does have mortgage arrangement fees on most mortgage products. Our fee structure means that you only pay £100 when you apply (non-refundable or transferable) - the rest of the fee can be added to your mortgage balance with no interest charged for the first 12 months. This means you don't have to find the full amount up front!
At the end of the 12 months, you can either pay the rest of the fee, or leave it on your mortgage balance where it will accrue interest at the same rate as your mortgage.
