Product Transfer Mortgages in Essex
Save time with a product transfer mortgage.
Stay with your lender, reduce costs, and secure the right deal with trusted Essex mortgage advisor, Ian Smith.
If your current mortgage is nearing its end, then a product transfer mortgage could be the quickest and most cost-effective way to move forward with a new deal. Instead of moving to a new lender, you stay with your existing bank or building society and simply switch to one of their new products. It is a simple, fast process that more often than not avoids the additional costs associated with applying for a full remortgage. As an independent mortgage advisor in Essex, I’ll check whether a product transfer really is the best choice for you.
What Is a Product Transfer Mortgage?
Product transfer describes the process you go through when you renew your mortgage with your current lender on a new deal, without changing providers.
- Usually, no property valuation is required.
- There are no solicitor fees to pay in most cases.
- Completion is generally much faster than remortgaging elsewhere.
Product Transfer is ideal for homeowners who want to avoid the hassle of switching lenders but still benefit from a competitive mortgage rate. Of course, product transfer isn’t right for everyone. Ease may come at a cost, so it’s essential to review your options carefully, ideally with the guidance of a local independent mortgage advisor.
Benefits of a Product Transfer
Quick and Simple
You can often secure your new rate with minimal paperwork or delay.
Lower Costs
With a product transfer, you can generally avoid valuation fees and solicitor charges normally associated with a remortgage.
Stay With Your Lender
Remaining with a lender you already know means you don’t have to deal with a new company.
Advisor Support
It’s still important to check that your current lender’s offer is competitive. I can do this for you by comparing rates across the widest possible market, including products not available on the high street.
When to Choose a Product Transfer
A product transfer might be right for you if:
- You are happy staying with your current lender
- Your financial circumstances remain largely unchanged, and you are looking for a straightforward renewal.
- You need to avoid delays, especially if your existing mortgage deal is ending soon.
When A Product Transfer Might Be A Mistake
In some cases, a product transfer mortgage might not work out well for you and switching lenders could be the smarter option.
- Better rates may be available elsewhere.
- An existing lender might limit the amount you can borrow.
- There may be a better type of mortgage product available better suited to your circumstances.
As your advisor, I’ll always compare both options to find the most suitable solution for your needs.

FAQs About Product Transfers
What does Product Transfer mean?
Product transfer means switching to a new deal with your current lender rather than moving to another provider.
Should I get independent advice?
Yes. An independent advisor can help you compare both your lender’s offer and wider market deals to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
How long does a product transfer take?
The process is usually much quicker than switching lenders; often, it’s just a few weeks.
Will I still get a competitive rate?
Yes. Your lender will still offer new rates, but it’s still essential to get help checking. There might be something better available on the market.
Do I need a solicitor?
In most cases, no solicitor is required when you arrange a product transfer mortgage.
