The UK Government has announced support for borrowers who are struggling with their mortgage payments and we're proud to be a part of this Mortgage Charter.

If you're a residential mortgage customer, you're eligible for support. However, you will not be eligible if your current mortgage agreement is buy-to-let, interest-only or you're not up to date with your mortgage payments.

If you're on a variable rate mortgage, you can choose a new fixed rate mortgage deal. You won't need to complete new checks if you keep the same mortgage amount and repayment type.

choose a new deal by:

• Logging into 'Manage your Mortgage'
• Select 'View your deals'.

You may be able to get more support depending on you circumstances including:

• Repayment of any arrears on your mortgage over an agreed time-period of up to 24 months
• A short term deferral or reduction in your mortgage payments if your income has temporarily been reduced
• An increase in your mortgage to include any arrears outstanding.

These options may have implications but we will discuss this when you talk to us.
