Product Transfer or Remortgage – What’s the Difference?

Posted Date: 26/11/2025

When your current mortgage deal is coming to an end, you may be offered a new rate by your existing lender. This is called a product transfer. Alternatively, you might consider switching to a new lender altogether known as a remortgage. Understanding the difference can help you decide what suits your situation best.

Why It Matters

A product transfer usually involves less paperwork, as you stay with your current lender. However, a remortgage allows you to compare rates and terms across the wider market. The right choice depends on factors like your current rate, fees, and long-term goals.

Moving Forward

Before deciding, it can help to review both options side by side. Comparing what your current lender offers with what’s available elsewhere ensures you make an informed decision.

Is a product transfer the same as remortgaging?
No. A product transfer is staying with your current lender, while a remortgage means switching to another.

Do both options involve fees?
Sometimes. Some lenders waive fees for product transfers, while remortgages may have arrangement or legal costs.

Which one is better?
It depends on your individual circumstances, reviewing both helps find what’s most suitable.
