Overpaying on your mortgage
You can make overpayments on any Principality mortgage. Paying a little extra, either regularly or as a one-off sum, can help reduce your overall mortgage balance and the amount of interest you will pay over time.
Any overpayments you make will appear on your annual statement under ‘transaction history’.
To find out your overpayment allowance you can make an appointment at one of our branches or call us on 0330 333 4000.
