Making one or more overpayments could reduce your mortgage balance and the amount of interest you pay, which may help to pay off your mortgage earlier.
If you're thinking of paying off your mortgage in full, take a look at look at our paying off your mortgage early page for more information.
| If your Santander mortgage loan is | Overpayment amount | Early repayment charge |
|---|---|---|
| Not on a fixed rate | Unlimited | None |
| On a fixed rate | Up to 10% of the outstanding balance each calendar year (January to December) | None |
If you don’t use your full 10% allowance, you won’t be able to carry it over into future years.
If you’re redeeming your mortgage (repaying everything you owe), or transferring to a new deal where you must pay an early repayment charge, you won’t be able to use the 10% allowance.
You can find out what your early repayment charge will be in your original mortgage offer, annual mortgage statement or Online Banking.
Types of overpayments
To set up single or regular overpayments in Online and Mobile Banking, you’ll need to have a single loan mortgage.
You can make single overpayments online if you have a Santander current or savings account. Visit our contact us page for step-by-step instructions on how to make overpayments.
You can also set up regular overpayments. You’ll make these additional payments on top of your monthly mortgage payment by amending your Direct Debit. Visit our contact us page for step-by-step instructions on how to make overpayments.

Later life mortgages
We’ve partnered with Legal & General to offer you lifetime and retirement interest only mortgages.
Designed for customers aged 55 or over, a later life mortgage lets you borrow money based on the value of your home, as a loan secured against it, while you continue to live there. The loan is usually repaid when the last surviving borrower dies or moves out of the home into long-term care.
- With a lifetime mortgage you are able to decide whether you’d like to pay all, some or none of the interest each month.
- With a retirement interest only mortgage you must pay the interest in full each month. As a last resort, your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with your payments.
There’s lots to consider so it’s important to receive financial advice to help you make the right decision. There may be cheaper ways to borrow money. Legal & General has its own team of specialist later life mortgage advisers, to help you find the right option for you. If you speak to one of their advisers, there’s no obligation to proceed.
