Firstly there is the Government costs of discharging the mortgage and then the lenders legal costs in preparation of that documentation.
In addition a lender may use a legal firm or settlement service to represent it especially where a property sale and settlement is involved and these costs are passed on.
Lenders often have fees or penalties for early repayment of loans. Whilst they have various names, like deferred establishment fees, they are justified as recoupment of costs that would have been recovered if the loan had of remained on the lenders books longer.
With fixed rate loans lenders may pass on the “Economic Cost” of a loan paid out prior to the expiration of the fixed term. This cost is based on the lost profit on the transaction. To protect themselves from adverse interest rate movements many lenders, at least theoretically purchase a parcel of funds to match against your loan. This is known as matched rate transfer pricing.
The margin between the cost of funds and your loan represents the lenders profit. If that margin has diminished on the day you repay your loan if the funds were to be re-lent then that margin cost is passed on to you over the balance of the fixed term. This economic is almost impossible to predict and so it is very important to select an appropriate fixed rate term when entering a loan contract.
