Representative example

A mortgage of £62,620 (including an application fee of £620) payable over 13 years on our standard variable rate, currently 6.60% for the mortgage term of 13 years would require 156 monthly payments of £598.98.


The total amount payable would be £93,890.88 made up of the loan amount plus interest of £30,820.88, a valuation fee of £350 and a MEAF of £100.


The overall cost for comparison is 6.9% APRC representative.

    Legal costs

  • Legal work is required when buying your home and when switching your mortgage to us from another lender (remortgage). When buying your home the legal work is carried out by a solicitor and is payable by you. We can use the same solicitors as you, providing there is a minimum of Four Approved Managers/Licence Holders and they are registered on The Law Society website (www.lawsociety.org.uk). Licenced conveyancers are also acceptable for residential business only. The conveyancer must be registered with the Council of Licenced Conveyancers and be in a firm with at least four Approved Managers/Licence Holders.
  • Standard mortgage valuation fee

  • A valuation of the property will be required to assess the security offered for the loan. We offer a choice of either a basic mortgage valuation, which is for us to assess security only, or a Home Buyer's Report that will give you a more comprehensive guide to the condition of the property. It is payable in advance and cannot be refunded once the valuation has taken place. If you would like a full building survey, we will give you the names of some local surveyors who you can contact to give precise instructions and negotiate price.
  • Maximum loan to value

  • Loan to value (LTV) is the proportion of the value or price of the property (whichever is lower) that you borrow on a mortgage. For example, a £150,000 mortgage on a house valued at £200,000 would mean a LTV of 75%.
  • Application fee

  • GoGreen reward - On presentation of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of A or B rating, we will refund half of the paid application fee. The Certificate must be presented within the first two years of the self build mortgage completion. The mortgage must still be with Newbury Building Society at the time of presentation to qualify for the refund.
  • The application fee can be added to the mortgage and is refundable if the mortgage does not take place. If you add the application fee to your mortgage, this increases the amount you borrow and will also increase your monthly payments.
  • The application fee is worked out as a percentage of the total amount of borrowing requested, even if the final amount borrowed from the Society is less than was originally requested.
  • There is a fee of £120 for further advance loans on your existing Newbury Building Society mortgage.
  • A Mortgage Exit Administration Fee (MEAF) applies when you repay your mortgage. Please see our Tariff of charges leaflet and your European Standardised Information Sheet (ESIS) for details.
  • Other charges

  • Charges applying to the ongoing administration of your mortgage are detailed in our Tariff of charges PDF, which you will be given before your mortgage completes.
