Mortgage Glossary: Additional Security Fee

Additional Security Fee

This is required when the mortgage exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the property (usually 75%). The form of additional security used is normally a Mortgage Indemnity Policy. Occasionally the lender may require a parent to be a guarantor or for other security such as shares or insurance policies to be pledged.

Get professional help from a qualified independent mortgage advisor and see how much you could save on your mortgage payments. There's no obligation, just plain good advice.
