ASK TO EXTEND YOUR MORTGAGE TERM

You can request a term extension quickly and easily by completing the form below. It should only take a few minutes. 

We could extend your mortgage term, providing the extension doesn't take you into retirement or beyond the age of 70 and your mortgage payments are up to date.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Complete the form below. It should only take a few minutes.
  2. We’ll write to you to confirm your mortgage term has been extended, and confirm your new monthly payment.
  3. If your mortgage has different parts, they will all be extended the by the same length of time. 
  4. We’re much busier than usual, so it may take up to ten working days for your term extension to take effect.
  5. Your term extension and new monthly payment will start from next month provided we have received your request by the 23rd of the month.
  6. If your new mortgage term takes you beyond your retirement age or age 70 a different term will be required. You can reduce the length of the term extension or you can contact an independent mortgage adviser to discuss your options.
  7. It’s important you understand that the longer you take to repay your mortgage, the more interest you will pay over the remaining term of the mortgage.
  8. When you receive the letter confirming your new monthly payment amount and when this applies from, if you change your mind, you have six months from receipt of this letter to cancel. We'll explain how to do this in the letter.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

We’ll ask you for your 11-digit mortgage account number ending in 00, so it’s worth making sure you have it to hand. You can find this in Internet Banking, or on any letters we’ve sent you about your mortgage.

Please provide information marked with an asterisk (*).

Please enter number of year(s) up to 35

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS

By continuing you will not be protected by the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules that apply to customers who have taken advice

This is because:

  • We won’t assess if this term extension is right for you.
  • You will not receive any advice or recommendations from Scottish Widows Bank.

 

THERE'S NO NEED TO CALL US

We'll write to the address we have for you to confirm your term extension is in place, what your new monthly payment will be and when the new payment will apply from.

Your term extension and new payment will start from next month.

If you pay by Direct Debit
You don’t need to do anything.  We’ll apply the changes needed to your monthly payment after we have applied the term extension.

If you pay another way
We'll write to you to confirm your term extension and new monthly payment amount. You should change your payment instruction to reflect the new payment amount.
