10% annual overpayment allowance
Your client can save money by making overpayments of up to 10% a year.
And they can benefit even more as their overpayment allowance is based on the original loan amount and not the reducing balance.
NB: If your client overpays by more than 10% a year Early Repayment Charges will apply during the deal period.

| Loan Amount |
£100,000 |
| Overpayment Allowance |
10% of £100,000 = £10,000 |
| Mortgage Completion Date |

| Allowance of £10,000 reset at next anniversary date until the end of the benefit period |

In the example above, the original loan amount advanced on 2 July 2019 is £100,000, making the year one overpayment allowance £10,000.
Whatever the balance at the end of year one, the overpayment allowance for year two remains calculated as a percentage of the original balance (£100,000 x 10% = £10,000).
