MORTGAGE APPLICATION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURE
Bank of China (UK) Limited is registered in England. Registered Number: 6193060. Registered Address: 1 Lothbury, London EC2R 7DB
Mortgage Application Guide
Bank of China (UK) Limited welcomes applications from residents in the UK, China Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. We also welcome
applications from British or Chinese expats who live or work (excluding self-employed) in the United Arab Emirates. Our mortgage products are denominated
in Pound Sterling (GBP) only. We can accept applicants’ income in Pound Sterling (GBP), US Dollar (USD), EURO (EUR), Chinese Yuan (CNY), Hong Kong Dollar
(HKD), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), and Emirati Dirham (AED). All applications are subject to satisfying our
eligibility criteria, lending criteria and creditworthiness assessment.
For regulated mortgages - where the currency of the borrower’s income relied on to repay the loan is not denominated in pound sterling (GBP) or the
borrower is primarily resident in an EEA state other than the UK - and for Consumer Buy to Let mortgages - where the currency of the borrower’s income
relied on to repay the loan is not denominated in pound sterling (GBP) - Bank of China (UK) Limited will monitor the movement of the currency against pound
sterling (GBP) for the life of the loan and will notify the borrower when there is an adverse fluctuation of the exchange rate of 20% and above.
If you have a foreign currency mortgage, changes in the exchange rate may increase the sterling equivalent of your debt
Representative Example (for residential mortgage)
A capital and interest repayment mortgage of £200,649 payable over 25 years initially on a fixed rate for 3 years at 2.83% and then on our current
variable rate at 3.39% above the Bank of England Base Rate (currently 0.5%) for the remaining 22 years giving an interest rate of 3.89% would require 36
monthly payments of £933.85 and 264 monthly payments of £1,034.70.
The total amount payable would be £308,953.40 made up of the loan amount (£200,649) plus total interest payable (£106,115.40) and costs listed below
(£2,189.00)*.
The overall cost for comparison is 3.8% APRC representative.
*This example has been produced on the assumption that the mortgage arrangement fee of £1,295 has not been added to the loan and has been paid on
acceptance of the mortgage offer (before drawdown) along with a booking fee of £299 and a valuation fee of £290 payable upfront on application. A
telegraphic transfer fee of £35 and a legal fee of £175 would be payable on completion while a mortgage discharge fee of £95 would be payable as a final
repayment charge.
Ancillary services: as a condition to obtaining a mortgage, Bank of China (UK) Limited requires that buildings insurance, covering at least the amount
referred to in our mortgage contract, is in place from first drawdown (or from risk is assumed, if this is earlier). This insurance must be maintained for the
duration of the loan.
