When can you switch to a new deal?

When you can switch depends on what type of mortgage you are on and how long you have left before your current deal ends. If you are on a fixed rate and have less than 4 months left, you can apply to switch to a new deal now.

If you use our banking app or Internet Bank, you can check if you are eligible to switch now with Mortgage Manager.

If you are not sure where to start, our guide to switching your mortgage deal could help. It has information on what you need to consider before you switch and what types of mortgage deals there are.

    If you are eligible to switch now, you can view your personalised rates in Mortgage Manager. These rates are based on your current mortgage balance.
