What is a product transfer?
A mortgage product transfer is when you switch to a new mortgage deal with your existing lender, without changing provider or going through a full remortgage process. It’s typically used when your initial fixed or tracker rate is ending and you want to avoid being moved onto your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR).
Unlike a full remortgage, you’re not changing lenders or going through additional affordability checks, making this a faster, simpler way to secure a better rate.
When should you consider a product transfer?
A product transfer may be the right choice if:
- Your current mortgage deal is ending soon
- You want to avoid moving onto a higher SVR
- Your financial situation hasn’t changed significantly
- You’re happy with your current lender
- You don’t need to borrow more money or make major changes
It’s especially useful for those looking to keep things straightforward and avoid the admin or legal work involved in a full remortgage.
Benefits of a product transfer
Fast and straightforward – no need for legal work, surveys, or credit checks in most cases
No extra fees – many lenders don’t charge for switching to a new product
Avoid a costly SVR – reduce your monthly repayments by locking in a better rate
Lower paperwork – compared to a full remortgage, it's a smoother process
Still access guidance – our advisers will help ensure you're getting the most competitive product available from your lender
What to consider before you proceed
While product transfers are convenient, they’re not always the most competitive option. Before deciding, it’s important to:
- Compare against other lenders – even with early repayment charges, a remortgage might save you more overall
- Think ahead – if you plan to borrow more, move, or change your term, a transfer might not offer the flexibility you need
- Check fees and terms – even within your current lender’s range, different products come with different features and costs
- Know your timing – if your deal ends in the next 4 months, now is the time to act
If you're unsure, it's worth speaking to a mortgage expert. We'll walk you through both options, product transfer and remortgage, to help you make the right call based on your circumstances.
