You can make an overpayment, in addition to your normal monthly payment, on all of our mortgage or loan accounts. It’s a good idea to check your loan agreement or mortgage offer first, though, as some accounts have redemption fees that apply to them.
If you make an overpayment of up to 10% of your account balance each year you won’t be charged.
We may ask you to provide evidence of the source of any funds you intend to use to make an overpayment.
Email us at LendcoServicing@lendco.co.uk to find out more. You can always call us on 0333 414 1494 if you’ve any questions too.

Your normal monthly payment is interest for the whole month and will remain the same for the fixed term period.
The 1st instalment is set one month after completion. For example, if a loan completed on the 19th February the first instalment will be 19th March.
A change in the Bank of England base rate may mean a change to some mortgage or loan accounts that are linked to the Bank of England base rate, the Lendco Administered Variable Rate or the Lendco Administered Variable Rate.
Take a look at your mortgage offer document to find if your mortgage is linked to one of these rates.
Don’t worry, if your payment is going to change, we’ll write to you before this happens to let you know what your new monthly payment will be. You can always call us on 0333 414 1494 if you’ve any questions.

If changes to the directors of the company are planned, the new director must call us so we can undertake the appropriate checks. We’ll also need certified proof of ID and proof of address of the proposed director(s).
Please note, if you’re removed as a director, your personal guarantee still remains valid.
With a repayment mortgage, every month you pay back both the interest on your mortgage AND some of the loan itself.
With an interest-only mortgage, you only pay back the interest on your loan. This means your monthly payments are much lower, but you will still need to pay off the loan at the end of the mortgage term.
