nationwide change in flexibility

Sorry if this has been asked

I know that Nationwide have taken away borrow back and payment holidays for new clients but does it affect existing customers. Want to overpay the mortgage but am reluctant to do so if can't borrow back as we are getting married next year and may well need the money back.

Anyone know?

    If you fixed your mortgage deal prior to I believe it is April this year then you can claim back any overpayments. We have 2 part mortgages with nationwide 1 which we fixed last June and we can overpay and claim back money but we are on the standard rate of 3.99% when it finishes. The other part was only signed up this month and we cannot claim back any overpayments.

    Hopefully someone will confirm this for you or you could phone nationwide on the 0800 number to vertify this.

    Doesn't affect existing mortgage agreements so your fine to overpay and get it back if needed. However should you switch/already switched to a new fixed rate mortgage or another tracker you won't be able to get the overpayments back.
