Residential mortgage charges
Take a look at our price list for residential mortgages. For use by residential intermediaries only.
Atom bank is working closely with the mortgage industry and Which? to make fees and charges easier for you to understand. Fees and charges are now being explained in a consistent way across the industry to help you compare mortgages.
When looking at the fees that other lenders charge, you may notice some that don’t appear in our tariff (below). This means we don’t charge you these fees. Some other fees may apply if you’re unable to pay your mortgage, but we’ll let you know if this is the case.
Before your first monthly payment
These are the fees and charges you may have to pay before we transfer your mortgage funds.

| Legal work |
Normally, you will instruct a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to act on your behalf for your home purchase transaction. You’ll need to pay any resulting legal fees and costs directly to your solicitor or their firm. Some mortgage deals offer fees-assisted legal work. If you’ve selected one of these, we’ll pay our share directly to the solicitor or firm (covering the basic legal fee only). You’ll be responsible for paying any remaining balance. Your mortgage broker can advise you of these costs. We only work with licensed conveyancers or solicitors, who are approved on our panel, at the point of applications. For further information please contact us on 03333 99 00 50 or speak to your broker. |
Ask your solicitor or licensed conveyancer to confirm these costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Product fee |
This is charged on some mortgages as part of the deal. It can be paid up-front or added to the total mortgage amount. If you add it to your mortgage, you’ll pay interest on it at the same rate as the rest of your borrowing. |
Varies by product. Please refer to the mortgage illustration and offer documents in your Vault. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Re-inspection | If your mortgage is released in stages, and you’re using it to renovate your home, this fee covers the new valuation we need to do after the work is carried out. | £75 (inc VAT) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Valuation fee |
This fee covers our valuation report, which is used to calculate how much we could lend you. This is separate from any valuation or survey of the property you might want to commission. Some mortgages offer free valuations - the product details for your mortgage will tell you if this is the case and will be illustrated in your mortgage offer. |
This fee varies based on the property value and type of valuation scheme chosen. We also offer homebuyer reports and building surveys. Our current valuation fees, as well as homebuyer report and building survey costs, are listed below. There may be different approaches in different parts of the UK.
