BM Solutions Mortgage Transfer
BM Solutions offers a range of mortgage products to suit different needs. Each Product Transfer deal, including Fixed Rate options, is tailored to individual needs. The products available to you will depend on the mortgage loan as a percentage of the property value (the loan-to-value or LTV). Birmingham Midshires mortgages will calculate the current value of your property by looking at the purchase price or the property value when they first mortgaged your property and how much property prices have risen in that area. This is known as indexing.
Existing BM Solutions Customer
As an existing BM Solutions customer, you have the opportunity to switch your current mortgage product to a new retention product offered by Birmingham Midshires. The BM Solutions Product Transfer process is designed for customers with buy-to-let mortgages. The best time to apply for a BM solutions product transfer is within two months of the expiry of your existing product or if you are on the lender’s standard variable rate.
Existing Mortgage
If your existing mortgage product is nearing its end or if you’re on the lender’s standard variable rate, a product transfer could secure you a better deal. This could mean lower monthly payments or a fixed rate that provides certainty about future payments.

BM Solutions Product Transfer Process
The product transfer process is straightforward. You will need to provide your mortgage account number, the full postal address of the buy-to-let property, your full name(s) and contact details, your home address, and your date of birth. Upon providing this, we’ll assess your balance and offer BM Solutions Transfer Rate Options. If you require a Birmingham Midshires further advance to raise extra funds this can be applied at the time of the BM Solutions buy to let remortgage.
Working with a Broker
It’s important to note that customers cannot apply for a BM Solutions product transfer directly. Instead, it is recommended that you work with a broker who will guide you through the process and liaise directly with Birmingham Midshires on your behalf to provide expert advice. This ensures you access the best BM Solutions Transfer Rates and make an informed decision.
Birmingham Midshires has very strict criteria for portfolio landlords therefore speak to a mortgage broker as you may need to consider a different lender if you are unable to get a mortgage offer.
What if the Indexed Valuation is Lower than Your Estimate?
If the indexed valuation is lower than your estimate, it may not matter if you still qualify for the product you want. However, you can instruct a valuation of your property. Birmingham Midshires mortgages will charge a discounted survey fee for this purpose. Alternatively, you can choose to pay down your mortgage until you are within a certain product loan-to-value.
What Happens Next?
Once you have chosen your new product, a full illustration for your chosen mortgage will be sent to you. If you are happy with the illustration, a signed authorisation is needed, and the transfer will go ahead.
