NatWest offers a huge range of mortgage products, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, tracker and offset mortgages for first-time buyers, home movers, remortgagers and buy-to-let applicants. They also offer more niche products including green mortgages, equity loans and shared ownership mortgages.
Like most mortgage lenders, NatWest offers a range of mortgage products with different eligibility criteria. How much you could borrow for a mortgage depends on which products you're eligible for, your household income and deposit, and other factors like your credit score, employment type, and outgoings. But typically you can borrow between 4-4.5 times your income, although some applicants may be able to borrow more than this.
By creating a free Tembo plan, you can see what you could be offered for a mortgage by NatWest and other providers without applying.
Yes, if you currently have a NatWest mortgage and you're on a fixed or tracker rate product, you can overpay by up to 20% of your outstanding loan balance. Anything above this 20% threshold, you will have to pay an Early Repayment Charge (ERC) on.
So for example, if you have an outstanding mortgage balance of £180,000, this would mean you can overpay by a maximum of £36,000 without being hit by an ERC.

NatWest is one of the biggest mortgage lenders in the UK and has a reputation for offering good mortgage rates. A recognisable high-street name, NatWest holds an 11.5% share of the mortgage market and has a 70% score from its customers on Which?, which is higher than average. However, they are not rated highly on Trustpilot, with 1.4 stars out of 5 from almost 6,000 reviews, but this is comparable to other large lenders like Santander, Nationwide, and HSBC.
As with any lender, whether NatWest is the right mortgage lender for you depends on your affordability and individual circumstances, what mortgage products you're eligible for, and what the market is currently like. An expert mortgage broker like Tembo can help you navigate these factors to ensure you get the best mortgage deal for you.
NatWest does offer guarantor mortgages, but whether their products are right for you and your family depends on your individual affordability, as well as what mortgage products you qualify for. Working with a mortgage advisor can help you navigate lenders' different eligibility criteria and find the best deal for you from NatWest and other lenders on the market.
