How switching works

1
We send a reminder
Around 90 days before your deal ends, we'll get in touch to let you know which deals you're eligible for.
2
Review your options
Contact your broker to talk through your options. You can also login with your mortgage account number to see your options or call our team.
3
Secure your deal
Agree your new rate with your broker, online or with us over the phone. Once you’ve paid any fees, we’ll send a letter confirming your new rate and the date it will begin.

Look out for better rates
It's important to check if we've lowered the rate of your mortgage deal. If we have, you can switch to the lower rate, up to two weeks before your new deal starts.

Things to consider

  • You can switch your deal in just over a week. It can take 4 to 8 weeks if you move to another lender.
  • No full mortgage application. To secure a new deal, just select one of the rates suitable for your current mortgage.
  • You won't need a conveyancer. You would if you moved to another lender.

You will move onto or stay on a standard variable rate (SVR) for your next Direct Debit date, which means you may end up paying more than you expect. You can still switch your deal after this point. 

This means that:

  • Your mortgage payments could go up or down.
  • You can make unlimited overpayments.
  • You can pay your mortgage off early without any early repayment charges.

Check your mortgage offer or give us a call to find out which of these rates apply:

  • Residential standard variable rate.
  • Residential Discounted standard variable rate. 
  • Your mortgage must have been held with us for at least 12 months.
  • The property must be your main residence and there must be no more than one missed or late payment in the last 12 months.
  • Any mortgage arrears must be less than the value of 1 month’s mortgage payment at the time of applying for a transfer and completion of transfer.
  • The balance on the part of the mortgage you wish to transfer must be more than £3,000.
  • If the mortgage is in joint names you must have the authority to switch deal on behalf of all applicants.
  • You must not be moving from another mortgage provider.
  • You must also meet all of our other lending criteria.
  • You should only switch online if:
  • You are sure you don't need advice on your new deal.
  • You are not changing any other details of the mortgage such as the term of the mortgage, the repayment method or wanting to pay a lump sum.
  • You are not borrowing more or making a lump sum payment.
  • No part of your current mortgage is on an 'interest only' repayment method.
  • You do not have a Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgage.
We need up to 7 calendar days to process any switch to a new deal. If you switch with less than 7 calendar days of your existing deal remaining, your interest rate may revert to our standard variable rate (currently 7.49%). This could mean your next monthly mortgage payment increases.

You can ask to switch to a new rate, on a like-for-like basis, until two weeks before your new deal starts. Only the rate can change. Everything else must stay the same.

For example:

  • Current transfer product: 2 year fixed at 75% LTV with £995 fee at 6.99%.
  • New like-for-like request: 2 year fixed at 75% LTV with £995 fee at 6.49%. 


To switch again, you must complete a new Product transfer rate switch request form.


Please note:

  • If you choose a new product, we'll cancel the current product and issue new documents.
  • We won't communicate any new rate changes to you so you will need to check our latest mortgage rates.

How to switch your mortgage

There are two ways you can apply to switch your mortgage deal with Accord Mortgages:

  • Without advice ('execution only') – online or over the phone.
  • With advice over the phone.

Switching your mortgage deal online without advice

If you apply to switch your mortgage deal online, it is known as an 'execution only' application. It’s designed for those customers who have a good understanding of the mortgage application process and can be confident they will be able to choose a product that’s suitable for their needs.

It does mean that you won't be eligible to receive advice on your mortgage switching application. But if you change your mind and decide you would like some advice once you’ve started your application, you can swap how you apply from online to over the phone.

Please note that if you have previously spoken to us over the phone about this application and decide to proceed with your own choice by applying online, then any advice we have given you will no longer apply.

Before applying to switch your deal online, you must be aware of the following:

  • The product you wish to apply for including the interest rate and its term.
  • Interest rate type e.g. fixed, or variable.
  • The early repayment charges associated with the product.
  • The price or value of the property you are looking to purchase or remortgage.
  • The loan amount you want to borrow.
  • The length of term required.

If you choose a mortgage without advice (execution only)

  • You should be comfortable choosing the right mortgage without our advice.
  • We won’t advise if the mortgage you select is the right choice for your needs, which means that you’ll be giving up the benefits of Financial Conduct Authority protection on mortgage suitability.
  • We will still assess whether you can afford the mortgage.

If you are unsure on any of the above, switching your mortgage deal with advice may be more suitable for you.

Benefits of receiving mortgage advice

A mortgage is likely to be the largest financial commitment you make in your life, therefore you may benefit from speaking to one of our mortgage advisers over the phone.

A mortgage adviser will be able to review your incomings and outgoings and make a suitable mortgage term and product recommendation to suit your individual needs.

An adviser will be able to provide guidance on the following, amongst other points depending on your circumstances and needs:

  • Mortgage term.
  • The interest rate on your chosen mortgage deal vs the product fee you may have to pay for selected deals where the interest rate is lower.
  • The affordability of the loan.
  • If a fixed or variable rate would best suit your circumstances.
