Halifax Mortgage Product Transfer
A Halifax product transfer, or mortgage rate switch, is when you change your current Halifax mortgage deal with your existing lender. When your fixed rate ends, you can stay with your current lender but switch to a new Halifax mortgage product. This can often reduce your monthly mortgage payments and save you money, especially if you are on a standard variable rate.
Staying with Your Current Lender Means…
Switch to their latest best Fixed or Tracker deal
No credit checks, income checks or valuation fees required
Takes as little as 15 minutes – see your options online instantly
FREE Mortgage Transfer service – so it doesn’t cost you a penny
Lock in your best rate up to 6 months before your deal expires
Faster and simpler than a remortgage
Bad credit/missed payments, not a problem (if the mortgage is up to date)
We transfer mortgage rates for hundreds of customers every month. If you don’t need to consolidate or borrow more funds, or it’s not the right time to remortgage.

Important: Halifax provides individualised rates for product transfers, which means there’s no single set of rates for everyone. Each customer receives a personalised selection of rates to choose from. The rates listed here are the most competitive we have observed recently.
The Halifax standard variable rate is currently 8.49% as of August 2024. If you are on this rate, exploring a product transfer on your mortgage balance may be beneficial to secure a lower interest rate. You will have no early repayment charge and therefore the process could be quick and you will benefit from a new monthly payment.
When can I do a product transfer with Halifax?
Following a policy change that came into place on 5 December 2022, Halifax existing customers can now select and secure a new Halifax Product Transfer rate up to six months before their current mortgage product ends. If your existing rate ends on 31 December, a new rate can be selected from 1 July. It’s important to avoid paying early repayment charges by not starting a new rate before your existing rate ends.
Factors to Consider
When considering a Halifax product transfer, there are several factors to consider. These include:
the product fee,
the interest rate,
and the term of the new mortgage interest rate.
The product fee may be paid upfront or added to your borrowing. While the mortgage interest rates on fee-charged products can be considerably lower than those on products with no product fee, it’s important to consider whether the saving on interest when using a fee-paid product can outstrip the cost.
It’s also important to consider the terms of the new mortgage deal. If your client plans to make overpayments or their borrowing level or mortgage term is likely to change, a fee-charged product may not be the best option.
Halifax Product Transfer Process
Switching mortgage products with Halifax is easy. It starts with checking your eligibility and ends with switching to a new mortgage product when your current rate runs out.
1) Check Your Situation:
Look at your current mortgage terms, rate and balance.
What are your goals (e.g. lower monthly payments, fixed rate).
2) Talk to a Mortgage Broker:
Contact a mortgage broker who specialises in remortgages.
Give them your Halifax mortgage account number. You can find this on your latest mortgage statement or the Halifax App.
Tell them about your needs, wants and financial situation.
Get personalised advice and compare deals.
A mortgage adviser will value your property to check the loan to value.
3) Choose a New Mortgage Deal:
Select from Halifax’s tracker and fixed rates for existing customers.
4) Request Rate Switch:
Once you’ve chosen your rate we’ll request the new rate from Halifax on your behalf.
The new rate will start when your current rate runs out, so you won’t be charged potentially higher variable rates.
Simple Process:
Halifax don’t require underwriting for existing mortgage customers.
No need for proof of income or additional financial information.
No credit scoring, wage slips, accounts or SA302s for self-employed borrowers, bank statements or affordability checks.
Note: Further advances, term changes, home moves, and the removal of a borrower will still require standard underwriting.
Halifax Mortgage Product Transfer Timeline:
Broker Consultation: 1-2 weeks to discuss with your mortgage broker. This is to go through your needs and research deals.

Legal and Completion: 1-2 weeks for legal paperwork and signing the new agreement.
The whole product transfer process takes 4-8 weeks. Individual circumstances and any unexpected delays may apply.
