Nationwide Overpayments and Borrow Back

Options
Hi,
I am looking for some information regarding Mortgage over payments and borrow back.
I am currently on Nationwide's BMR and apparently have the facility to over pay and borrow back. I am contemplating making a large over payment to save 2.25% interest on the sum over payed. Then borrowing back in a couple of years when the money is earmarked for something else.
Does anyone here know if Nationwide will have to revisit the Mortgage affordability criteria before allowing the borrow back?

Thanks in anticipation

Jim

    No. Borrow-back is a simple "on demand" option requiring no affordability or status checks to those who retain the facility (pre - 4 March 2010 mortgages IIRC).
