A win for your client, a win for you
Once you’ve transferred their product, your client can rest assured that they’ve protected themselves against rising interest rates. Plus, you’ll receive a 0.30% gross procuration fee in the usual way, two weeks after your client has rolled on to their new fixed rate.
Don’t forget that your client’s new offer will only be valid if their mortgage account is up to date with no arrears in between the product transfer and the roll off from their existing product.
Keep and eye on your inbox
If your client is eligible for a product transfer, we’ll email you with their details four months before their transfer window opens.
Will my client know they can transfer to a new product?
Your client will receive a letter explaining that a product transfer is currently available to them. They will be informed that they can talk to their broker for advice on their options and a recommendation. Alternatively, they can arrange their own execution only transfer.
