Help to buy overpayments

I have a help to buy mortgage with Halifax and want to make overpayments. I've heard Halifax do not charge any fees for doing this if overpayments are within 10% of the balance but I can't find any reference to this in my illustration, is it something only that applies to normal mortgages?

    You should still be able to make overpayments. If in doubt I'd call them up and they should be able to clarify and assist you in changing your direct debit if you are looking to up your monthly repayments.
