Fees and charges
We charge certain fees in connection with mortgages. These are set out below and, unless we state otherwise, can change from time to time. We will send your clients information about these fees each year (except where there have been no changes and no new fees introduced). We will also notify your clients of any changes in fees at the time when they ask for or receive the service for which we charge the fee. Further details of the fees we charge can be found on our website at www.halifax.co.uk/mortgages.

Service or application feeProduct fee (please note that this fee is only refundable before the mortgage starts. It can be added to the mortgage on completion, but interest will be charged). It is the intermediary’s responsibility to record whenever a product fee is paid upfront. If a product fee has been paid upfront and the application is not proceeding, or the application is proceeding but the product selected is changed, you must contact us so the refund of the fee paid can be actioned. If product fee is added to the loan it will be included in the affordability calculation. |
