• Some fees are automatically added to the loan and will be included in the maximum LTV for the product selected. The fees (if applicable) are:
  • Product arrangement fee
  • Higher lending charge
  • Electronic funds transfer fee £30
  • Own insurance fee £25.
• When inputting the loan amount, you should reduce this accordingly, otherwise you will fail underwriting when submitting the AIP
