Northern Rock Overpayment / Borrow Back

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the NR borrow back on Together mortgages.

I've got about 6K available at the moment and since last month am able to overpay by 1K every month. Which is great becasue it means my minimun payments are coming down lower all the time.

What I want to be sure of is that I will always be able to get my overpayments back if I need them at any time, for any reason and most importantly regardless of my LTV. So effectively using the NR together mortgage to put my savings into to bring my balance and monthly minumum down (important to me for when rates start going up or my personal circumstances change). Does this make sense?

Anyway I've had assurances from NR 4 times over the phone that I can do this, and they've re-sent the T's and C's. However in the Terms it's a little less clear. It says something like "subject to NR's prior agreement".

Does the written document ruin my grand plan?

Has anyone else had any experience of using the borrow back facility?

Thanks in advance, I really would appreciate all views.
