When your mortgage deal comes to an end, it’s natural to wonder what’s next. Should you stick with your current lender and switch to a new deal—or explore what other providers have to offer?

Understanding the difference between a product transfer and a remortgage is the first step. And with expert advice, you can turn uncertainty into confidence.

What is a remortgage?
A remortgage is when you move your mortgage to a new lender. It’s often done when your current deal ends and you want to avoid being moved onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR)—which is usually much higher.

Remortgaging can help you:

• Access better interest rates
• Adjust your loan amount or term
• Release equity for home improvements or other needs

What is a product transfer?
A product transfer is when you switch to a new mortgage deal with your existing lender. You’re not changing providers—just choosing a different product.

This option can be quicker and simpler, often with:

• No legal work
• Fewer checks
• Faster turnaround

Which option is right for you?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The right choice depends on your goals, financial situation, and the deals available.

• Product transferscan offer convenience and stability—especially if you’re happy with your lender and want to avoid extra paperwork.

 

• Remortgaging might unlock better rates, more flexibility, or the chance to borrow more.

Even if staying put feels like the safest option, it doesn’t always mean you’re getting the right deal for you. That’s why it’s worth comparing both routes.

Ready to explore your options?
Don’t leave it until the last minute. Speak to an adviser around six months before your deal ends to give yourself time to plan and secure the right rate.
