Price List
Atom bank is closely involved in the mortgage industry’s initiative with the Council of Mortgage Lenders and Which? to make our fees and charges easy for you to understand.
Our price list fully reflects these good practice principles. This same document is being used across the industry to help customers compare mortgages.
When looking at the fees that other firms charge, you may notice some that don’t appear in our price list (below). This means we don’t charge you these fees.
When you will pay this charge:
Before your first monthly payment
These are the fees and charges you may have to pay before we transfer your mortgage funds.
| Name of charge | What is this charge for | How much is the charge? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funds transfer | Electronically transferring the mortgage funds to you or your solicitor. We will only charge this if we send the funds via CHAPS (Clearing House Automated Payment System) | £10 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Legal work | You’ll normally 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 (which covers the basic legal fee only) directly to the solicitor or firm. You’ll be responsible for paying any remaining balance. Your mortgage broker can tell you these costs. | Ask your solicitor 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 the borrowing. | Varies by product. Please refer to your mortgage illustration in your Vault. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Re-inspection | If your mortgage is released in stages and you’re using it to renovate your home, this covers the new valuation we need to do after the work's carried out. We will not add any additional charges to the costs of this work. | £75 (inc VAT) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Valuation retype | Where there is a previously prepared valuation report, we may be able to rely on this, subject to the valuer meeting Atom bank criteria (They must be a member of the approved panel and also be a member of RiCS). In these circumstances, you will pay this fee, rather than having to instruct, and pay for, a new full valuation. We will not add any additional charges to the costs of this work. | £30 (inc VAT) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Valuation | Our valuation report, which is used to calculate how much we will lend you. This is separate from any valuation or survey of the property you might want to commission. There are other homebuyers or structural survey options available to you at a cost and there may be different approaches in different parts of the UK. Some mortgages offer free valuations - the product details for your mortgage will tell you if this is the case. We will not add any additional charges to the costs of this work. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We don’t charge account fees (for creating and managing your account) or application fees (for assessing and processing your application). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We don’t charge you for providing a reference to another mortgage provider. | ||
If you are unable to pay your mortgage
These are the most common charges you may have to pay if you fail to keep up with your mortgage payments. Some charges, for example those covering unpaid / returned direct debits, occur at the early stages of your inability to pay (arrears).
