If your current fixed rate mortgage is coming to an end, or you're on the HSBC standard variable rate or HSBC Buy to Let standard variable rate, we can help you switch to a new HSBC mortgage rate.
Why should you consider switching your rate?
- You could save money by switching to another rate rather than our standard variable rate
- You can agree your mortgage rate up to 12 weeks before your current rate ends
- We won't need to check your credit rating as you're an existing mortgage customer
- No valuations are required
- No legal work is required
- You can switch your rate at any time, even if you have less disposable income at the end of each week or month
What happens if I don't switch my mortgage rate?
If you're on an HSBC fixed rate which is ending soon, you'll be moved onto the HSBC standard variable rate for residential mortgages or HSBC Buy to Let standard variable rate for Buy to Let mortgages. Details of this can be found on your Mortgage offer document.
Please note:
• your mortgage payments will be variable so these could go up or down
• you'll be able to make unlimited overpayments
• you could pay off your mortgage early without any early repayment charges
What will happen if I’m in negative equity and want to switch my rates, borrow more money or move home?
You’ll only know you’re in negative equity if:
you’ve had your home valued recently
your outstanding mortgage balance is higher than the value of your home
We’re here to help. If you’re in negative equity and want to change your mortgage or move home, please give us a ring on 0800 169 6333. Our lines are open Monday – Saturday 08:00 – 20:00, Sunday 09:00 – 18:00. We may monitor and record calls. Opening hours may vary. You can also visit your nearest HSBC UK branch.
