Is my installment affected by fluctuations of the interest rates?

For floating rate loans, the interest rate can be changed at any time (upward or downward) depending on base rate changes. The variable interest rate consists of the base rate plus margin. Every time the total interest rate changes, your loan installment will also change.

For fixed rate loans, the interest rate does not change under any circumstances. Thus, your installment remains constant, unaffected by a possible rise in interest rates, however it should be noted that, at the same time, you do not benefit from a possible reduction in interest rates.

What are the initial fees?

Initial bank fees

• Arrangement fees: these relate to the Bank’s costs for preparing and evaluating your application.
• Documentation fees: a fixed charge for the preparation of legal  documents, the charge is determined by the facility amount.

For applications submitted through the Bank's digital channels, you do not pay any initial Bank fees.

 Government fees

These fees are regulated by relevant law as follows:

• Mortgage registration fees paid to the Land Registry.
• Fees relating to stamp duty of the facility documents and paid to the Commissioner of Taxation.
• Fees paid to the Land Registry in cases where the transfer of property from one owner to another is necessary.

Fees paid to third parties

These are fees related to valuations carried out on behalf of the Bank by approved valuers for mortgaged property, or fees related to life and/or home insurance.

 What do I need to know about loan installment payments?

• You can provide instructions in writing, so that your installment is paid automatically from your account.
• You can pay your installments as determined by the terms of your loan. Please make sure to designate a date that is convenient for you. Should this date change, you need to promptly contact your servicing branch.
• Delayed installment payments incur additional costs, increasing the cost of your financing
• Should your financial circumstances change and you are unable to keep up with installment payments, per the terms of your contract, please get in touch promptly with your servicing branch in order to agree a new repayment schedule adapted to your new circumstances.

 What happens if I pay off my loan/installments early?

Where a loan is paid off early, or installments are paid early in relation to the agreed schedule, the Bank will charge costs depending on the type of interest rate and the amount that was paid off early.

What is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the total cost of the financing to the consumer. The APR includes all financing expenses paid by the client to either the Bank or to third parties (e.g. government fees, valuation expenses, insurance etc).

The APR is considered to be the best tool for comparing the real cost for the customer as it includes all the financing expenses. It helps you form a complete picture and to compare the Bank’s schemes with the schemes of other banks.
