This is the Standard Variable Rate that you will move onto after your fixed term period ends.

Once this fixed term period ends, the interest rate that will be applicable to your loan will be the Business BTL SVR. This interest rate is a managed rate that can go up or down at any time, which means your contractual payments may also go up or down.

Atom’s Business BTL SVR is currently 6.99%

In limited circumstances, we may need to instruct a solicitor and you would be responsible for these costs.£58 (inclusive of VAT)
Commercial ValuationThroughout the life of your loan, there are some circumstances where we may require a new valuation to be carried out — for example, if market conditions change, you breach your terms and conditions or if we have grounds to believe a default event has occurred. We will never ask for a new valuation to be carried out on a property more than once per calendar year unless we have reasonable grounds to believe a default event has occurred or shall occur. For standard valuations (up to £1m), the cost of the valuation is based on a tiered price structure and will be passed on in full to the valuer. See Table 1 above.£tiered
Early repayment charges (ERCs) for Fixed Rate loansWhere a customer with a fixed rate product decides to repay their loan, in whole or in part, prior to the final agreement date, an ERC may be payable.The amount of an ERC is calculated as a percentage of the early repayment being made in excess of the early repayment allowance (10% per annum in any repayment year before an ERC is applied). See Table 4 for percentages based on tenor.
We don’t charge you for the following: duplicate statements; provision of a lender’s reference; Data Subject Access Request.
