Advice based on your current circumstances and future plans
Your mortgage should support your long-term goals. We’ll review your current situation, future plans and financial objectives to help determine whether a Product Transfer remains the most suitable option for you.
What Is a Product Transfer?
A Product Transfer is when you switch from your existing mortgage deal to a new mortgage product with the same lender.
Unlike a traditional remortgage, you do not move your mortgage to a new lender. Instead, you remain with your current mortgage provider but move onto a different product, such as a new fixed-rate mortgage.
A Product Transfer may allow you to:
- Secure a new interest rate
- Avoid moving onto your lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR)
- Continue with your existing lender
- Complete the process with less paperwork
- Potentially avoid valuation and legal costs
However, staying with your current lender is not always the most suitable option. Reviewing your circumstances before making a decision can help ensure your mortgage continues to meet your needs.
Who Is a Product Transfer Suitable For?
A Product Transfer may be suitable if you:
- Are approaching the end of your current mortgage deal
- Are happy with your existing lender
- Do not need to borrow additional funds
- Want a simple way to secure a new mortgage rate
- Have no significant changes to your circumstances
However, if your circumstances have changed, you want to borrow more money or your financial goals have changed, it may be worth reviewing alternative mortgage options.
Understanding Your Mortgage Options
When reviewing a Product Transfer, there are several factors to consider, including:
- The interest rate being offered
- The length of the new mortgage deal
- Monthly repayments
- Early repayment charges
- Mortgage features
- Your future plans
A lower monthly payment does not always mean the most suitable mortgage. We look at the wider picture to help identify an option that fits your circumstances.
What Documents Will You Need?
Product Transfers often require less documentation than a full remortgage, particularly if your circumstances have not changed.
However, depending on your lender and circumstances, you may need:
Personal Details
- Confirmation of your identity
- Current contact details
- Mortgage account information
Current Mortgage Information
- Existing lender details
- Current mortgage balance
- Remaining mortgage term
- Current interest rate
- Current mortgage product expiry date
Financial Information
If your circumstances have changed, your lender may request additional information, such as:
- Income details
- Employment information
- Details of financial commitments
Having your mortgage information available allows us to review your options efficiently and provide accurate advice.
The Product Transfer Process
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
We’ll discuss your current mortgage, your lender’s offer and what you want to achieve.
Step 2 – Review Your Current Deal
We’ll look at your existing mortgage, upcoming expiry date and available options.
Step 3 – Compare Your Options
We’ll explain whether staying with your current lender or exploring alternatives may be more suitable.
Step 4 – Select Your Mortgage Product
Once you understand your options, we’ll help you decide on the most appropriate route.
Step 5 – Complete Your Product Transfer
Your new mortgage product begins once your current deal expires.
Common Product Transfer Mistakes
Many homeowners make assumptions when their mortgage deal ends.
Common mistakes include:
- Automatically accepting the first offer from their lender
- Not reviewing whether the deal remains competitive
- Waiting until their current deal expires
- Not considering future financial plans
- Assuming changing lender is always complicated
Taking advice before making a decision can help ensure your mortgage remains suitable.
