Assuming your customer's current rate has already expired or is due to expire in the next 6 months they can most likely switch to a new product. These are the circumstances that would make them ineligible:
- If they are not up to date with payments (i.e., if they have any unpaid amount on their mortgage). This must be true when they accept the offer, and on the switch date.
- If their remaining mortgage term is not greater than the fixed period of their new product + 6 months. For example, they must have at least 2 years and 7 months left on their current mortgage term to be eligible for a 2 year fixed product, and at least 5 years and 7 months left on their current mortgage term to be eligible for a 5 year fixed product.
- If they have any personal insolvency proceedings.
- If their mortgage is in the name of a limited company, the limited company must not have any insolvency proceedings.
- If they are in breach of their mortgage terms and conditions.
- If they are subject to any possession order.
- If their current mortgage with us is a Second Charge.
- If they confirm that they are currently suffering from any form of financial difficulty.
- If they are aware of any imminent change of circumstances which might affect their ability to continue paying their mortgage.
- They must be able to confirm that they have not been subject to any bankruptcy order or individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) since taking out their mortgage with us.
