Mortgages

What's the relationship between Barclays and Woolwich?

Woolwich - a leading bank and former building society - became part of Barclays in 2000. Woolwich Mortgages is now the mortgage brand of the Barclays Group. This means that you can take advantage of Woolwich's strength and expertise in the mortgage and home loan market as well as the security of banking with Barclays.

Thanks for making that clear to me, I don't need to see it again

Take one small step towards buying the property of your dreams with a Woolwich mortgage. You can review the main features of our mortgages using the tabs below. Or if you'd like more help selecting a mortgage, take a look at our Mortgage rates

First-time buyer mortgages

Our fixed rate mortgages give you the security of a set monthly repayment for a specific period, regardless of how interest rates perform. Perfect if you're planning ahead or working to a budget.

  • Range of fixed rate periods
  • Competitive fixed mortgage rates
  • Option to borrow up to 85% if you're buying a new home

First-time buyer mortgages

Manage your money the way you want with our flexible offset mortgages. You could cut years off your mortgage term and reduce the amount of interest you'll pay.

  • Offset your eligible Barclays current accounts, savings accounts and/or ISAs against your mortgage
  • Use your offset benefit to lower your monthly repayments or reduce your mortgage term
  • Overpay as much as you like - early repayment charges may apply if you redeem in full

First-time buyer mortgages

A tracker mortgage could be ideal if you want a mortgage that moves in line with Barclays Bank Base Rate (BBBR). When BBBR falls, your monthly repayments fall. If the BBBR rises, so do your repayments.

  • Choice of mortgages including lifetime trackers
  • No application fee on selected mortgages
  • Option to borrow up to 75% of the value of your home

Need help with jargon?

Here are the five definitions that we think you'll find most helpful.

Capped rate

With a capped-rate mortgage, your payments are variable and often linked to a base rate but they are fixed not to go above a certain level, known as the 'ceiling' or 'cap'. These kinds of mortgage are useful if you want the security of knowing that your payments can't rise above a certain level and you still benefit if they fall.

Early repayment charge/Breakage fee

A fee payable if you repay all or part of your mortgage earlier than the agreed term from your lender. This may not always apply and will be dependent on your terms and conditions.

Equity

The difference between the amount you owe on your mortgage and the current value of your property.

Exclusions

Most insurance policies have exclusions - the things they don't cover. It's worth checking your policies for exclusions as they could affect any claims you make.

Interest rate

This is how a lender calculates the interest payable on your mortgage. This may be calculated on a daily, monthly or annual basis.
