Mortgage charges & application fees

A breakdown of our mortgage charges and application fees

Mortgage charges

During the life of your mortgage with the Family Building Society there are some fees and charges which may be incurred.

This list below does not include standard initial charges associated with a mortgage (e.g. completion fees and/or early repayment charges) - these will be outlined in the specific product literature. Should an instance arise with a charge which is not included in this list, you will be advised in advance.

If we make any changes to our mortgage charges, we will let you know as part of your annual mortgage statement mailing.

Need any help with a mortgage application? We offer a free Mortgage Advice Service where we can help recommend which of our mortgage products might best suit your needs.
