Variable rate credits

15

Where the contract provides for variable rate credit, the creditor must—

  • (a) make any indexes or reference rates used to calculate the borrowing rate clear, accessible, objective and verifiable by the borrower and the FCA; and
  • (b) maintain historical records of indexes used by the creditor for calculating the borrowing rates.

Early repayment

16
  • (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), the creditor must allow the borrower to discharge fully or partially the borrower's obligations under the consumer buy-to-let mortgage contract prior to the expiry of that contract.
  • (2) Where the borrower discharges, fully or partially, the borrower's obligations prior to the expiry of the contract, the creditor must provide the borrower with a reduction in the total cost of credit to the borrower, consisting of the interest and costs for the remaining duration of the contract.
  • (3) The creditor may provide that the exercise of the right referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is subject to one or more of the following conditions—
  • (a) time limitations on the exercise of the right;
  • (b) different treatment depending on the type of borrowing rate or on the moment the borrower exercises the right;

  • (4) The creditor is entitled to fair and objective compensation, where justified, for possible costs directly linked to the early repayment but the creditor must not impose a sanction on the borrower and the amount of compensation must not exceed the financial loss of the creditor.
  • (5) Where a borrower seeks to exercise the right referred to in sub-paragraph (1), the creditor must provide the borrower without delay after receipt of the borrower's request, on paper or on another durable medium, with the information necessary to consider whether to proceed with the exercise of the right.

Flexible and reliable markets

17

The creditor must keep appropriate records concerning, where applicable, the types of property accepted by the creditor as security and the related mortgage underwriting policies used by the creditor in relation to its consumer buy-to-let mortgage business.

Information concerning changes in the borrowing rate

18
  • (1) Unless sub-paragraph (3) applies, the creditor must inform the borrower of any change in the borrowing rate, on paper or another durable medium, before the change takes effect.
  • (2) The information referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must include—
  • (a) a statement of the amount of the payments to be made after the new borrowing rate takes effect; and
  • (b) in cases where the number or frequency of the payments changes, particulars of those changes.

  • (b) the new reference rate is made publicly available by appropriate means;
  • (c) the creditor agrees with the borrower in the contract that information about any change in borrowing rate may be given to the borrower periodically; and
  • (d) the information concerning the new reference rate is kept available in the premises of the creditor and communicated personally to the borrower together with the amount of new periodic instalments.

Arrears and possession

19
  • (1) A creditor must exercise reasonable forbearance before initiating possession proceedings.
  • (2) Any charges that the creditor imposes on the borrower arising from the borrower's default must be no greater than is necessary to compensate the creditor for costs incurred by the creditor as a result of the default.
  • (3) Where the price obtained for the secured property affects the amount owed by the borrower under the contract, the creditor must take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible price for the secured property.
  • (4) Where, after possession proceedings, outstanding debt remains, the creditor must put in place measures to facilitate repayment by the borrower.

Basic equation expressing the equivalence of drawdowns on the one hand and repayments and charges on the other

20
  • (1) The basic equation, which establishes the annual percentage rate of charge, equates, on an annual basis, the total present value of drawdowns on the one hand and the total present value of repayments and payments of charges on the other hand, expressed by means of the following formula—

$∑ k = 1 m C k ( 1 + X ) − t k = ∑ l = 1 m ' D 1 ( 1 + X ) − S l$where—X is the annual percentage rate of charge;mis the number of the last drawdown;k is the number of a drawdown thus,$C k$$t k$m' is the number of the last repayment or payment of charges;l is the number of a repayment or payment of charges;$D 1$$s 1$

  • (2) The following remarks apply to the equation set out in sub-paragraph (1)—
  • (a) the amounts paid by both parties at different times shall not necessarily be equal and shall not necessarily be paid at equal intervals;
  • (b) the starting date must be that of the first drawdown;
  • (c) intervals between dates used in the calculation must be expressed in years or in fractions of a year, where—
  • (i) a year is presumed to have 365 days (or 366 days for leap years), 52 weeks or 12 equal months; and
  • (ii) an equal month is presumed to have 30.41666 days regardless of whether or not it is a leap year;
  • (d) where intervals between dates used in the calculations cannot be expressed as a whole number of weeks, months or years, the intervals must be expressed as a whole number of one of those periods in combination with a number of days;
  • (e) for the purposes of paragraph (d), where using days—
  • (i) every day must be counted, including weekends and holidays;
  • (ii) equal periods and then days must be counted backwards to the date of the initial drawdown; and
  • (iii) the length of the period of days must be—
  • (aa) obtained excluding the first day and including the last day; and
  • (bb) expressed in years by dividing this period by the number of days (365 or 366 days) of the complete year counted backwards from the last day to the same day of the previous year;
  • (f) the result of the calculation must be expressed with an accuracy of at least one decimal place and if the figure at the following decimal place is greater than or equal to 5, the figure at the preceding decimal place must be increased by one;
  • (g) the equation may be rewritten using a single sum and the concept of flows (

$s = ∑ k = 1 n A k ( 1 + X ) − t k$

where sis the present balance of flows;

  • (h) for the purposes of paragraph (g), if the aim is to maintain the equivalence of flows, the value of s will be zero.

Additional assumptions for the calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge

21
  • (1) The following additional assumptions apply for the purposes of calculating the annual percentage rate of charge.
  • (2) If a consumer buy-to-let mortgage contract gives the borrower freedom of drawdown, the total amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down immediately and in full.
  • (3) If a consumer buy-to-let mortgage contract provides different ways of drawdown with different charges or borrowing rates, the total amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down at the highest charge and borrowing rate applied to the most common drawdown mechanism for this type of contract.
  • (4) If a consumer buy-to-let mortgage contract gives the borrower freedom of drawdown in general but imposes, amongst the different ways of drawdown, a limitation with regard to the amount of credit and period of time, the amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down on the earliest date provided for in the contract and in accordance with those drawdown limits.
  • (5) If different borrowing rates and charges are offered for a limited period or amount, the highest borrowing rate and charges must be deemed to be the borrowing rate and charges for the whole duration of the contract.
  • (6) For consumer buy-to-let mortgage contracts for which a fixed rate borrowing rate is agreed in relation to the initial period, at the end of which a new borrowing rate is determined and subsequently periodically adjusted according to an agreed indicator or internal reference rate the calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge must be based on the assumption that, at the end of the fixed borrowing rate period, the borrowing rate is the same as at the time of calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge, based on the value of the agreed indicator or internal reference rate at that time, but is not less than the fixed borrowing rate.
  • (7) If the ceiling applicable to the credit has not yet been agreed, that ceiling is assumed to be—
  • (a) in the case of buy-to-let mortgage contracts, other than contingent liabilities or guarantees, the purpose of which is not to acquire or retain a right in immovable property or land, overdrafts, deferred debit cards or credit cards, EUR 1,500; and
  • (b) in all other cases, EUR 170,000.
  • (8) In the case of buy-to-let mortgage contracts other than overdrafts, bridging loans, shared equity buy-to-let mortgage contracts, contingent liabilities or guarantees and open-ended buy-to-let mortgage contracts as referred to in the assumptions set out in sub-paragraphs (10), (11), (12), (16) and (17)—
  • (a) if the date or amount of a repayment of capital to be made by the borrower cannot be ascertained, it must be assumed that the repayment is made at the earliest date provided for in the buy-to-let mortgage contract and is for the lowest amount for which the buy-to-let mortgage contract provides; and
  • (b) if the interval between the date of initial drawdown and the date of the first payment to be made by the borrower cannot be ascertained, it must be assumed to be the shortest interval.
  • (9) Where the date or amount of a payment to be made by the borrower cannot be ascertained on the basis of the buy-to-let mortgage contract or the assumptions set out in sub-paragraphs (8), (10), (11), (12), (16) and (17) it must be assumed that the payment is made in accordance with the dates and conditions required by the creditor and, when these are unknown—
  • (a) interest charges are paid together with the repayment of the capital;
  • (b) non-interest charges expressed as a single sum are paid at the date of the conclusion of the buy-to-let mortgage contract;
  • (c) non-interest charges expressed as several payments are paid at regular intervals, commencing with the date of the first repayment of capital, and if the amount of such payments is not known they shall be assumed to be equal amounts; and
  • (d) the final payment clears the balance of capital, interest and other charges, if any.
  • (10) In the case of an overdraft facility, the total amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down in full and for the whole duration of the buy-to-let mortgage contract and, if the duration of the overdraft facility is not known, the annual percentage rate of charge must be calculated on the assumption that the duration of the credit is three months.
  • (11) In the case of a bridging loan, the total amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down in full and for the whole duration of the buy-to-let mortgage contract and, if the duration of the buy-to-let mortgage contract is not known, the annual percentage rate of charge must be calculated on the assumption that the duration of the credit is 12 months.
  • (12) In the case of an open-ended buy-to-let mortgage contract, other than an overdraft facility and bridging loan, it must be assumed that—
  • (a) for buy-to-let mortgage contracts the purpose of which is to acquire or retain rights in immovable property, the credit is provided for a period of 20 years starting from the date of the initial drawdown, and the final payment made by the borrower clears the balance of capital, interest and other charges, if any;
  • (b) for buy-to-let mortgage contracts the purpose of which is not to acquire or retain rights in immovable property or which are drawn down by deferred debit cards or credit cards, the credit is provided for a period of 1 year starting from the date of the initial drawdown;
  • (c) unless sub-paragraph (13) applies, the capital is repaid by the borrower in equal monthly payments, commencing one month after the date of the initial drawdown.
  • (13) This sub-paragraph applies in cases where the capital must be repaid only in full, in a single payment, within each payment period.
  • (14) If sub-paragraph (13) applies—
  • (a) successive drawdowns and repayments of the entire capital by the borrower must be assumed to occur over the period of one year; and
  • (b) interest and other charges must be applied in accordance with those drawdowns and repayments of capital and as provided for in the buy-to-let mortgage contract.
  • (15) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (12), an open-ended buy-to-let mortgage contract is a buy-to-let mortgage contract without fixed duration and includes credits which must be repaid in full within or after a period but, once repaid, become available to be drawn down again.
  • (16) In the case of contingent liabilities or guarantees, the total amount of credit must be deemed to be drawn down in full as a single amount at the earlier of—
  • (a) the latest draw down date permitted under the buy-to-let mortgage contract being the potential source of the contingent liability or guarantee; or
  • (b) in the case of a rolling buy-to-let mortgage contract at the end of the initial period prior to the rollover of the agreement.
  • (17) In the case of a shared equity buy-to-let mortgage contract—
  • (a) the payments by borrowers must be deemed to occur at the latest date or dates permitted under the buy-to-let mortgage contract; and
  • (b) percentage increases in value of the immovable property which secures the shared equity buy-to-let mortgage contract, and the rate of any inflation index referred to in the contract, shall be assumed to be a percentage equal to the higher of the current Bank of England target inflation rate or the level of inflation rate in the United Kingdom at the time of conclusion of the buy-to-let mortgage contract or 0% if those percentages are negative.
  • (18) In this paragraph “total amount of credit” has the meaning given in paragraph 9(6).
