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
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
Switching to a new HSBC mortgage rate is easy
Once you've decided you want to switch, it's easy to find a new rate.
Step 1 - Find and compare our current mortgage rates or view all our mortgage rates.
Step 2 - When you're ready, apply to switch to a new rate.
