Early Repayment Charges, known as ERCs, are penalties, usually a fixed percentage of the total borrowed, if the borrower exits their mortgage during the initial offer period.
Early Repayment Periods apply to almost all fixed rate, and most discount rate, mortgages. It usually applies to the initial offer period, only; often shorter than the overall term of the mortgage loan. For example, a five year fixed rate offer, on a 20 year term, will usually have a five year ERC.
The ERC discourages borrowers from early redemption, meaning early repayment of their mortgage, either in full or in part. It protects lenders that have provided a mortgage type at a discount to their typical Standard Variable Rate.
A borrower that chooses to end their mortgage early, during their ERC Period, is likely to suffer an additional charge. For example, a two percent ERC on a £200,000 mortgage, could mean a charge of £4,000  - this would be paid by the borrower if exiting their mortgage early during their ERC period.
