Leek United Building Society Mortgage Products
   

Discount: there are 3 different types of discount mortgage available. Each one is set at the Society’s standard variable rate less a discount for a set period depending on which product you choose.

Mortgage Plus: the initial rate of the mortgage is set at the Society’s standard variable rate less a discount for 4 years. Interest is calculated on a daily basis. Repayments may be made of up to 10% in any 12 month period. An early repayment charge will apply if the mortgage is repaid within the first 4 years.

Flexible: set a discount off the standard variable rate for the first 10 years of the mortgage. If you want to overpay some of your repayments and then take a payment holiday you can do that with a flexible mortgage. There is also a draw down feature that can refund your previous overpayments.

Stepped Mortgage: this mortgage is designed to bring your initial discount rate back in line with the standard variable rate after 3 years of staggered rate increases. There is a cash back offer on completion of the mortgage too. An early repayment charge may apply for the first 3 years.

Buy to Let: this type of re-mortgage is for people who own a second property for investment purposes. The mortgage rate is set at a discount off the standard variable rate for the first 3 years.
