What is mortgage product transfer?

A mortgage product transfer is when you switch your existing mortgage to a new deal with the same lender. It’s an alternative to remortgaging with a different provider.

Here are some key things about product transfers:

Simpler process: Compared to a remortgage, a product transfer is usually quicker and easier. There’s typically less paperwork involved since you’re staying with the same lender.

Fewer fees: You’ll generally only pay an arrangement fee with a product transfer, whereas a remortgage might incur valuation fees, solicitor fees, and other charges.

Not always the best deal: It’s always a good idea to compare product transfers with remortgages from other lenders to ensure you’re getting the most suitable rate.

Demystifying the Product Transfer

A Foundation Home Loans product transfer allows you, as an existing Foundation Home Loans mortgage customer, to switch to a new mortgage deal offered by Foundation Home Loans without the full application process required for a remortgage. This streamlined approach simplifies the process and potentially saves you time and stress.

Here’s a breakdown of the product transfer process:

1. Identifying Your Requirements: Are you seeking a lower interest rate? Do you want to adjust the term of your mortgage to shorten or lengthen it? Perhaps you’re interested in features like payment holidays. Recognizing your goals helps you choose the most suitable product.
2. Exploring Foundation Home Loans Offerings: Foundation Home Loans offers a variety of mortgage products, including fixed-rate, tracker, and variable-rate deals. Explore their options to find one that aligns with your financial aspirations and risk tolerance.
3. Eligibility Check: Not all mortgages qualify for product transfers. Contact Foundation Home Loans or review your mortgage terms to confirm your eligibility.
4. Streamlined Application: The application process for a product transfer is generally less complex than a full remortgage. You might avoid the need for a valuation (where a surveyor assesses your property value) or legal fees associated with transferring the mortgage to a new lender.

The Right Timing: When to Consider a Product Transfer with Foundation Home Loans 

The ideal window to initiate a product transfer with Foundation Home Loans is typically within the last six months of your current mortgage deal. This allows you to secure a new rate before your current one expires and potentially avoid any interest rate hikes. Additionally, Foundation Home Loans might waive Early Repayment Charges if you switch within the last three months of your existing deal.

It’s recommended to monitor your mortgage term and proactively explore product transfer options before your current deal ends.

Discover the Benefits: 3 Convincing Reasons to Think about Transferring to a Foundation Home Loans Product

1. Potential for Cost Savings: The most significant benefit of a product transfer lies in potentially securing a lower interest rate. By switching to a new product with a more competitive rate, you could significantly reduce your monthly repayments, leading to substantial savings over the life of your mortgage.

Here’s how it translates to real-world benefits:

• Reduced Monthly Outlay: A lower interest rate translates to a smaller monthly payment, freeing up extra cash for other financial goals or simply easing your budget.
• Long-Term Savings: The impact of a lower interest rate compounds over time, leading to significant cost savings on the total amount you repay on your mortgage.

2. Simplified Process, Enhanced Efficiency: Compared to a full remortgage, a product transfer offers a more streamlined experience. You might avoid the need for a valuation (required for most remortgages) or legal fees associated with transferring the mortgage to a new lender. This translates to:

• Faster Processing: The streamlined application process with Foundation Home Loans can result in a quicker turnaround time, allowing you to benefit from the new mortgage deal sooner.
• Reduced Costs: Avoiding valuation and legal fees can lead to substantial cost savings compared to a remortgage.

3. Early Rate Security and Peace of Mind: With a Foundation Home Loans product transfer, you can secure a new interest rate up to six months before your current deal ends. This provides peace of mind, especially in a volatile market where interest rates could rise. By locking in a new rate, you protect yourself from potential increases in your monthly repayments.

It has been great working with Paul. He helped us to redeem our help to buy equity loan which didn't seem possible to me when I first contacted him. It took much longer than expected due to many obstacles but Paul explained every step of the process very clearly and he regularly communicated with me to ensure the remortgage went through as efficiently as possible. I would definitely recommend working with Your Property Financial.

I would highly recommend Paul as a mortgage broker. As a first time lone buyer I began the process feeling very out of my depth, particularly in a market where mortgage rates are very high. But from the get go Paul provided reassurance and practical guidance and has been immensely helpful throughout the process. I've really appreciated his responsiveness, honesty and support.

I reached out to Paul 2 years ago and giving this review now because I wanted to ensure that I could give a true review of what benefits I have experienced from using his service.
I am thrilled with the financial expertise given to me by Paul. His skillful negotiation secured me an excellent mortgage rate within a short turn around time. This has not only set me on the path to paying off my principal balance but has also allowed me to simultaneously build a solid emergency fund. His initial guidance has been invaluable in shaping my financial future.
I look forward to working with Paul again, once my 5 year plan is near its end.
Highly recommended!

Paul has been consistently excellent, ensuring we got the best possible mortgage deal at a time when rates weren't great. Paul worked with us to understand our financial complexities and went above and beyond to ensure they were understood by mortgage providers. We've been made to understand every stage of the process, and as first time buyers we were able to feel confident in the decisions we made. I would highly recommend working with Paul at Your Property Financial.

My almost a year-long journey with Paul as my broker has been truly amazing, despite a few hiccups during the mortgage process. Working with him has been the best decision ever! As a first-time buyer, I lacked knowledge about purchasing a home, but Paul's guidance and expertise were outstanding. He explained things in a clear and concise way.

What impressed me the most was Paul's responsiveness. He promptly addressed all my questions and concerns, never making me feel like a bother. Even when I faced challenges, Paul's determination and problem-solving skills were unwavering. I felt so supported throughout the entire process.

Thanks to Paul's unwavering support, I managed to reach this point. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially fellow first-time buyers. Paul's knowledge, patience, and reliability are unmatched. He's not just a broker; he's an invaluable ally in this complex process. Thank you, Paul!

Thank you so much for helping me buy my very first home! I will most certainly be recommending Paul to friends & family!
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 

Why Use a Mortgage Broker for Your Product Transfer?

You might be nearing the end of your current mortgage product term, and your lender has offered you a product transfer. This can be a tempting option – it seems quick and easy to stay with the same lender. But before you jump in, consider the advantages of using a mortgage broker to navigate your product transfer. Here’s why a broker can be your secret weapon for securing the most suitable deal and for product transfers we don’t charge a mortgage advice fee:

• Considering a Remortgage: If you’re unsure whether a product transfer or a remortgage to a different lender is more suitable, a mortgage broker can assess your situation and offer unbiased advice. They can compare rates and product features across various lenders, potentially finding a better deal outside of Natwest.
• Complex Financial Situation: If your financial situation is complex, involving multiple debts or self-employment, a mortgage broker can navigate the application process and ensure you meet Natwest’s eligibility criteria.
• Negotiating Power: While uncommon with product transfers, some experienced mortgage brokers might have established relationships with lenders and potentially negotiate a slightly better rate on your behalf, even with Natwest.

Borrowing More: Can You Increase Your Loan with a Product Transfer? 

While product transfers primarily focus on switching deals, some might allow you to borrow additional funds depending on the chosen product and your eligibility. However, accessing additional funds might necessitate a full mortgage application process, which could be more complex than a simple product transfer.
