Nationwide mortgages
Nationwide offers a range of options for both first-time buyers and existing customers.
First-time buyers: First-time buyers will be able to take out a new mortgage for their property, and will receive a cash reward of £500 when they take out their first mortgage with Nationwide. If you use a Help-to-Buy ISA account, you may be able to save on a mortgage, benefit from a fixed interest rate and make use of the tracker-rate mortgage with deposits of 5% or less.
Existing customers: You can also change your current mortgage deal with Nationwide if you meet a number of conditions, for instance if your existing deal is expiring in 5 months or less, or if you’re on a base, standard, tracker or fixed-rate mortgage.
As an existing customer, you’ll also be able to move your existing mortgage to your new property if you’re moving homes. This adds some flexibility to your borrowing by letting you transfer your mortgage to your new property.
Remortgaging means you’ll be able to change your existing mortgage lender to Nationwide (which also earns a £500 cash reward) or borrow more if there are higher loans available at Nationwide which you qualify for. You’ll also be able to switch deals as an existing customer if your current deal has come to an end.
How do I apply for a Nationwide mortgage?
To get the process started, you’ll need a ‘decision in principle’ certificate, which is free and confirms that Nationwide is willing to lend you money. You’ll be able to apply for this online before making an offer on a property.
You’ll then be able to complete your mortgage application by choosing a deal and show how you’ll be paying both your deposit and monthly repayments.
Nationwide member
When you take out a mortgage with Nationwide, you’ll automatically become a member and benefit from a number of perks, including:
- Access to unique deals on credit cards, loans and home insurance as well as investments and financial protection
- Interest rates on your ISA account will be higher the longer you’ve been a member
- If you refer a friend or family member to the Nationwide membership, you’ll receive a cash reward of £100
Tracking your mortgage online
Nationwide offers you a way to keep a close eye on your mortgage payments, which can be especially useful if you opted for a variable-rate mortgage. You’ll also be able to view, make and change overpayments online as and when you need to.
