Rate Switch

Switching to a new product is quick and easy

Is your existing Cumberland customer at the end of their deal and looking to change to a new one? Here we've outlined the three simple steps for switching.

Before you request a rate switch, please note we only accept introduced product transfer applications 3 months before a customer’s existing deal is due to end.

The Society’s Holiday Let product transfer rates can be viewed here or requested via your BDM for Residential mortgages.

Products may be withdrawn and can only be guaranteed once customer has paid reservation or application fee (if applicable) and returned a signed copy of the mortgage offer.

If you require further information or guidance on this application, or if the customer wishes to discuss a further advance or transfer of equity, please get in touch with us on 01228 403 312, or email commercialfollowons@cumberland.co.uk

  1. Notify the customer

    We'll write to the customer 3 months before their existing deal is due to end and advise them to contact their original mortgage advisor. If your firm did not originally introduce the client to the Society, please ask your customer to complete the authorisation on the product transfer application.

  2. Complete product transfer application form

    Complete the product transfer application form and email this to our retention team to action.

  3. Complete registration form (if not already registered with us)

    To introduce a rate switch you must be registered with us. If you aren’t currently registered with us, please send us the completed intermediary registration form along with the product transfer application form.

  4. Mortgage offer

    We’ll send the mortgage offer to you and your customer for them to sign. Once we’ve received the signed copy, we’ll action the rate switch and let you both know when the rate switch is complete.
