The Coventry wants borrowers to apply online for payment holidays

Published on

The Coventry Building Society has launched an online form for borrowers affected by the Coronavirus to apply for a payment holiday of up to three months.

The form and further details on the process can be found on the lender’s website.

The mortgage payment facility is available for the following circumstances:

  • For residential mortgages – the payment holiday will apply for borrowers who are up to date on their payments, not in arrears, and can confirm that they’ve been affected – directly or indirectly – by Coronavirus.
  • For buy-to-let mortgages – the facility will apply for borrowers who are up to date with their payments, not in arrears and can confirm that their tenants are having difficulty in paying their rent due to Coronavirus.

Credit ratings will not be affected but interest will accrue during the holiday period. Borrowers will need to need to make up deferred payments in the future.

The lender urges borrowers currently in arrears who are impacted by the Coronavirus to call their Customer Service Centre on 0800 121 8899.
