Nationwide Early Redemption Fee

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has ever managed to get a reduction on the 5% redemption fee that Nationwide charges on getting out of a 5 year fixed rate mortgage? I'm in year 4 of the 5 year fix and I'm fuming that it's going to cost me so much to get out of it. I realise it was in the T&Cs but I'm still really cross about it. I'm not getting out of the mortgage to take a cheaper option, we're selling our house and moving into rented accommodation. Thanks.

I think the % fee decreases with the term, for example 1 year in would be 4% fee and so on, so I'm guessing you would have 1% early redemption fees now, not the whole 5%?
That's how NatWest do it anyway.0 -
Some older Nationwide products are 5/5/5/5/5 not 5/4/3/2/1 as they are now dalo.

ERCs are very difficult to dodge I'm afraid. They are legal, clearly spelled out in the mortgage terms - and there is very little incentive for a lender to just give a customer that is leaving a "goodwill" gesture....0

On a fixed rate mortgage, the lender incurs a contractual charge from the organisation it borrowed the funds from if the funds are repaid early by the borrower - the ERC works to reimburse the lender for that charge.0

I appreciate that it's inconvenient OP, but how is that their fault?
If you were staying put and they suddenly reneged on the last year of your fix in favour of e.g charging you a higher rate, wouldn't you say no way!0
