Existing borrowers - transferring products

If your special product rate is about to come to an end , we may be able to offer you a transfer to a new rate. The products available to you depend on your payment history with us.

If your Credit Repair product term is about to end, you may be eligible for one of our Existing Borrower products.

Our Existing Borrower Transfer and Additional Loan Product Guide has all our current transfer products. It also has details of our additional loan products.

We've made our transfer process simple

We'll write to you a few weeks before your current mortgage deal ends with details of the ways in which you can apply for a new product.

If you wish to simply carry out a product transfer you may want to apply for your product transfer offer online. Please bear in mind however if you apply online you will not receive any advice on whether the mortgage product you choose is suitable for your needs.

If you're planning to amend the term of your mortgage or the way you repay your mortgage as part of the transfer process - you will need to speak to one of our advisers. To discuss this please call us on 0345 1200 891. Alternatively you can seek independent financial advice.

Work out your revised payments

You can find out how much your new monthly payment is likely to be using our online calculator. Just select from any of the transfer products available to you. You have to use the online calculator to apply for an offer online.

To use the calculator you will need to provide a few personal details and answer some security questions.

Do not use the calculator if the following applies:

  • if you need advice on any of our products
  • you need to make any changes to your mortgage such as making a lump sum payment or amending your term
  • if you want to transfer from one self-certification product to another
  • if any part of your mortgage is on an 'interest only' repayment method

Before continuing, please read the initial disclosure document carefully.

Apply online

When you're ready to apply for a product transfer, use the online calculator to request an offer and we'll post it to you.

Please note: In some circumstances, such as where you currently pay all or part of your mortgage on an 'interest only' basis, we'll need to talk to you before you can transfer your mortgage product. If this applies to you - you won't be able to apply online. When we write to you to let you know your current deal is coming to an end, our letter will set out how you can apply for a new mortgage deal.

If you are currently on our SVR, or you want to switch from your current deal to another product and pay any Early Repayment Charges, please call us on 0345 1200 891 to discuss your options.

Useful information & Guidance

When transfers can be submitted

You can Request an offer online up to 90 days before the product period end date.

Accepting the offer

You must return the signed acceptance within 14 days of receiving your offer to secure the product you have chosen. If you don't, the offer will expire and you will need request a new one. You may also have to choose a new product, if the one you had previously chosen has been withdrawn.

We'll complete the transfer when your current deal ends (if applicable); that way, you will avoid any early repayment charges - unless you tell us otherwise.

Eligibility
  • Mortgages must have been held with us for at least 12 months. Borrowers with a Credit Repair mortgage may be eligible for a transfer product after 24 months. Find out more >
  • You must live in the the property we have our mortgage secured on.
  • Any arrears on your mortgage must be less than one monthly payment or £100 (whichever is lower).
    • There must be no more than one missed or late payment in the last 12 months.
    • For transfers from a Credit Repair product, there must be no missed payments in the last 24 months.
    • Your mortgage account balance must be at least £10,000.
    • All transfers need to meet our criteria.
Self Certification

You can apply for a full status product if you can meet the eligibility criteria above and prove your income.
If you cannot prove your income then you can apply for another a self-certification product.

Term

The part(s) of your mortgage account being transferred must have a remaining term of at least the same as the new mortgage product term, i.e. a 5 year product can be taken if the remaining term on the part(s) you wish to transfer is 5 years or more.

Early Repayment Charges

Your mortgage statement will show whether you are still within the early repayment charge (ERC) period for any part of your mortgage, these charges apply in the event of a Product Transfer. If the ERC period ends within the next 90 days, you can apply for your transfer now but it will not take place until after the ERC period has ended, unless you agree to pay the charge. Any early repayment charges applicable must be paid on completion of the transfer.

Credit Repair Guarantee

Borrowers will be eligible for our Existing Borrower Transfer products providing they have made all their payments on time and in full in the last 24 months. This is subject to criteria. See our Credit Repair Guarantee page for full information >.

LTV Product Selection

Products are available for existing borrowers at Loan to Values (LTV) above those currently offered to new customers.
The product selected must be applicable to your LTV. For instance, an 85% LTV product cannot be selected if your LTV is 90% or above.

Revaluation Fees

Like many of the mortgage deals we currently have, our Existing Borrower Transfer products now take into account your mortgage balance compared to the value of your home. This is known as the Loan to Value (LTV).

We calculate the LTV using a published House Price Index (HPI). The HPI is recalculated every three months.

You can ask for a revaluation, if you believe the value of your home is different to our estimate.

If a re-valuation is required, a non-refundable fee £70 is payable. This fee is payable upfront on request of a re-valuation. Please contact our Existing Customer Team to pay the fee by either debit or credit card.

By requesting a revaluation you are not reserving any of our mortgage products or interest rates. Products can be withdrawn at any time and you will only be able to choose from the range available once your current valuation is confirmed.

Offset / non-offset

Offset and non-offset products cannot be mixed:
If you have more than one part to your mortgage then all parts must be either Offset products or non Offset products.
