7 BUDGETING
It is important that you understand what will happen if your payments on this loan are not made. If you think you will miss a paymentor payments, you should always tell us before the payment is due and explain any difficulties you have. We will then be able to discuss how you canbring your payments up to date. If you continually miss payments, we can, as a last resort apply to the court for your property to be sold and theproceeds used to pay off or reduce your loan because you have given your property as security. It is important that both you and we are satisfied thatyou have enough income to meet the monthly outgoings for your new mortgage. To help with this budgeting process, details of your monthly incomeand outgoings you will have when your new loan starts will need to be shown. We recommend that you review your income and outgoings whenthere is a change in your financial circumstances.

If YES, The loan will be a ‘Regulated Mortgage Contract’
11 VALUATION (Please read the notes below carefully)
We need a valuation report on the property and will ask a suitably qualified person to prepare this for us. This basic mortgage valuation report is designed to allow us to assess how suitable the property is as security for the proposed loan. It is based on a limited inspection and does not contain all the information you will need about the property as the prospective owner of the property.
There may be serious faults in the property which the basic mortgage valuation report does not reveal and there may be things missed out which do not matter to us but which would matter to you.
You must not rely on this report in any way when deciding whether or not to buy the property.
Neither we nor the valuer accept any responsibility to you or any other person for the basic mortgage valuation report, even if
the valuer has been at fault in his or her limited inspection or report. Neither we nor the valuer will say whether the purchase
price is reasonable.
The basic mortgage valuation report is not a building survey or a home buyer’s survey, both of which need a much more detailed inspection and give much more information about the property. You will need to pay higher fees for these.
We strongly recommend that you get your own more detailed report on the condition and value of the property, based on a
detailed inspection, so you can assess whether the property is suitable for your purposes both as an investment and as a place to
live. Details of the home buyer’s survey and building survey are set out in our leaflet ‘Mortgages with the Cumberland’.
Please tell us below if you want us to arrange for a home buyer’s survey, or building survey to be carried out. If you do, we will ask the surveyor to prepare a basic mortgage valuation report for us at the same time.
The contract for a more detailed survey (home buyers or building) is between you and the surveyor. If you want a home buyers survey done by the same valuer who is providing us with our basic mortgage valuation report, we will collect a combined survey and valuation fee to help with the administration – please make your cheque for this fee payable to ‘Cumberland Building Society’. This arrangement does not make us part of the contract for a home buyer’s or building survey and you will still need a contract direct with the surveyor.
As explained in our leaflet, everyone applying for a mortgage must pay our costs of getting a basic mortgage valuation report for mortgage purposes, before the valuation is carried out.
Alternatively you may ask a suitably qualified person to prepare a survey for you. If the surveyor you instruct is not on our panel of valuers, we will still need to arrange for a separate basic mortgage valuation report. There will be a separate fee for this report.

If the solicitor acting for the applicant(s) is not also acting for the Society, the Society will appoint its own solicitors to prepare the mortgage documentation. In such cases there will be a charge made by the Society’s solicitors for their services in addition to the charges made by your own solicitors.

AGREED INTEREST RATE AND EARLY REPAYMENT CHARGE PERIOD
(Complete this section for all applications) Based on the information supplied we have agreed the following terms. (Delete 1) or 2) as appropriate)
1) Variable Rate, Interest rate % variable (The Society’s Buy to Let Mortgage Rate) with a discount of % for 2 years making a 2) Fixed Rate. Interest rate % fixed for years reverting thereafter to the Society’s variable Buy to Let Mortgage Rate.
THERE IS AN EARLY REPAYMENT CHARGE PERIOD OF YEARS ON THIS MORTGAGE PRODUCT.
This means that if you decide to repay your loan in full or in part within 2 years from the date of completion of your loan or if the Society takes possession of your property and sells it within this period the Society will charge an amount equal to 5% of the amount repaid. For example - if you made a capital reduction of £10,000 within 2 years from the date on which the loan completed the early repayment charge would be £500.
114 INTEREST ONLY MORTGAGES
Customer Note: If all or part of your loan is taken on the interest only basis, please read this section carefully
It is very important that you understand the following points about interest only mortgages: With an interest only mortgage, your monthly payments to the Society will only cover the interest on the loan. They do not repay any of the amount you have borrowed (sometimes called the “Capital”) It is your responsibility to ensure that you have suitable arrangements to repay the interest only part of your loan by If you intend to repay the interest only part of your loan with an investment policy (e.g. Endowment, ISA, PEP, Pension etc) - The policy’s value when it ends is not normally guaranteed - It is your responsibility to pay the premiums directly to the Life Assurance company or other provider, If you do not pay the premiums there will not be enough money to repay the interest only loan at the end of the agreed term.
- The Society recommends you contact the Life Company or other provider at regular intervals to check that the current projected maturity values of the policy are sufficient to repay the loan within the agreed term of the mortgage.
- Each year you should receive a statement from your Life Assurance Company or other provider telling you how your policy has performed.
It is very important that you monitor the performance of your policy and seek advise if the predicted amount payable on maturity falls belowthe loan amount the policy is intended to repay.
- A change in your personal circumstances or changes in economic conditions which could reduce the projected return on investment policies, may make an interest only loan less appropriate. The Society strongly recommends that you regularly review whether or not an interestonly loan is still appropriate for you.
- If you surrender or stop paying premiums into an investment policy you may not get back what you have paid into the policy and you may lose valuable life cover. You would also need to make alternative arrangements to repay the loan amount within the agreed mortgage term.
If we have given you independent financial advice about this loan, the recommended repayment method will be confirmed If you do not want to repay the interest only part of your loan using an investment policy you must tell us in Section 14 how you intend to repay the interest only part of your loan. If your circumstances change and you will no longer be able to repay the loan in this way, it is your responsibility to make alternative arrangements to repay the amount by the end of the agreed mortgage term.
If you are cannot repay the full interest only loan amount at the end of the agreed term, you will still have to pay the outstanding balance and your remaining loan will have to be transferred to the capital and interest basis over a new term or you will have to sell your property torepay the money you owe us.

Business Loan Protection
If a key person within a business suffers a critical illness or dies, it could affect the business’s ability to repay a loan and that could put the business itself at risk. Business Loan Protection helps ensure that a business can repay the money owed if a key person dies or suffers a critical illness otherwise their estate or family’s finances could be drawn upon to repay the loan.
As a responsible lender, the Society recommends that you arrange adequate protection for your new loan and is able to offer independent financial advice through its wholly owned subsidiary Cumberland Financial Services Ltd. If you would like us to arrange for Cumberland Financial Services Ltd to contact you and are happy for us to forward your details on to them, please tick the box below.

15 PROPERTY INSURANCE
When arranging your mortgage it is important to make sure that you, your property, your possessions and your family are fully insured. We are
an independent intermediary, act as your agent and accept responsibility for the advice we provide and for arranging your insurance . We offer certain products which are branded in our name. We have negotiated each of these products with a particular insurer. We follow the Association of British Insurers’ Code of Practice for selling General Insurance, a copy of which is available on request.
We need your property to be insured for at least the rebuilding cost amount recommended by the Society’s valuer. The amount will be shown on the valuer’s report and your Offer of Loan. The insurance is to commence when the loan is completed unless an earlier date is
requested.
The sum insured will normally be index-linked and adjusted in accordance with the percentage change in the House Rebuilding Cost Index prepared by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors or some other similar index as may be used in the future.
If buildings insurance is arranged by the Society we will issue the cover on the basis of the information you have provided. English law will apply to the contract. If your property is in Scotland, Scottish law will apply.
In the event that Buildings cover is not arranged by the Society your written undertaking will be required in respect of the present cover arranged and any future amendments to the policy. The Society has an absolute discretion as to whether or not a particular policy or company is acceptable.
It is your responsibility to ensure that adequate Buildings Insurance is taken out to cover the reinstatement cost of the property.
16 POLICY AND PRACTICE
When we give you your ‘Offer of loan’ we will give you a copy of our leaflet ‘Policy and Practice and Charges for Mortgage Linked
Services’. This provides details of our current fees for mortgage services, but please remember these charges will vary over time.
