Overview

Check the simple switch before you accept it

A product transfer or rate switch means moving onto a new deal with your current lender. It can be quicker than a full remortgage and may involve less admin, but it still deserves a proper check. AJM can compare your current lender options against wider mortgage routes, explain the timing, and help you avoid accepting a convenient deal without understanding the alternatives.

Practical guidance

Common questions about product transfers / rate switches

Is a product transfer quicker than remortgaging?

Often it can be simpler because you stay with the same lender, but it is still worth checking whether the overall deal is suitable.

Will I need a new valuation or solicitor?

For many straightforward product transfers, no. A full remortgage may involve more steps, which AJM can explain before you decide.

When should I speak to AJM?

If you are unsure which route fits, AJM can review the basics and point you towards the next sensible step.
