Mortgages rates and charges
Our rates and charges are for existing customers. Intelligent Finance no longer offers mortgages to new customers.
If you have an existing mortgage with us, the interest rates and any applicable charges will be set out in both the Mortgage Illustration and your mortgage offer.
Tariff of Mortgage Charges
Intelligent Finance is closely involved in the mortgage industry’s initiative with UK Finance and Which? to make our fees and charges easy for you to understand.
Our tariff of charges fully reflects the initiative’s good practice principles. This same document is being used across the industry to help customers compare mortgages.
When looking at the fees that other firms charge, you may notice some that don’t appear in our tariff (below). This means we don’t charge you these fees.
In our mortgage conditions we refer to this Tariff of Mortgage Charges as charges and expenses. Further information about how we deal with charges and costs can be found in the Mortgage Conditions booklet we send if you receive a mortgage offer.
