Numpty mortgage question

Evening all,

Are lenders generally reasonably flexible regarding changing the dates that payments are drawn? I have a Halifax mortgage and am concerned that it is going to get taken on the day I get paid next month and as such was concerned that the mortgage might get taken before my salary goes in.

Am I worrying over nothing, or will it be easy enough to change the date my mortgage is taken by Halifax? I have looked on the Halifax wbsite and have seen nothing to suggest how to do this.

Many thanks

    Only way to get an answer is to ring the lender and ask.

    Usually ok with this though.

  • They will probably be ok with this, but you will more likely than not find that they will have to charge you a part month payment (one off) to take into consideration the interest due between the original payment date and the new payment date.
