2 year discount at Alliance and Leicester

I've been looking at the deals on Alliance and Liecester website.

What does this mean....

[tt]Payable by customer on mortgage closure
Early Closure Administration Charge £295.00 [/tt]

Does it just mean that you have to pay that if you pay off your mortgate early?

    "Early closure" means closure before its natural maturity.

    I.e. take out 25 year mortgage on a 2 year discounted product, and redeem after 2 years = pay the £295.

    Take out a 2 year mortgage on a 2 year discounted product, and redeem after 2 years = don't pay anything.

    Most lenders charge some sort of redemption/sealing fee; this one is like that but waived if you are finally reaching the normal end of your mortgage account's life.

    By this do you mean, after 2 years If I switch my mortgage to another lender I have to pay £295 ???

    (Sorry if my question seems obvious, just want to be sure.)
