If your rate is about to expire and you’re looking to stay with HSBC, here’s the information you need. HSBC offers various mortgage options for existing customers looking to switch to a new deal.
Key Points
- There are no initial costs or legal fees when transitioning to a new product
- There are many choices available when picking a new rate. There are options for short and long-term rates that allow flexibility with your mortgage
- Product fees are not mandatory. However, if you do opt for a rate that includes a product fee, you can decide to pay it upfront or add it to the mortgage
HSBC rates
HSBC typically provides fixed rates of 2 or 5 years for existing customers, as well as 2-year trackers, although the selection is generally more restricted compared to what’s available for new clients.

How long will the product transfer take?
After we apply, the process is relatively fast. Mortgage offers are typically given right away, and you can choose for your rate to start either next month or on the end date of your product. If you’re changing your rate, borrowing more, or adjusting other terms like switching to interest-only, it might take more time due to extra checks and underwriting.
Can I borrow extra money?
Yes – HSBC allows product transfers and additional borrowing applications to take place at the same time. However, it will need to be inputted as two separate applications.
Additional borrowing is only available to existing HSBC UK mortgage customers currently on a fixed rate, term tracker, lifetime tracker or standard variable rate. The minimum loan for additional borrowing applications is £10,000.
If you’re interested in applying for additional borrowing alongside your rate switch, please let one of our brokers know and we can assist you through the process.
What does staying with your current lender mean for you?
- It’s quicker and easier than a remortgage
- It can be done in just 15 minutes
- HSBC does not require credit checks, income checks, or valuation fees
- Secure a favourable rate 6 months before your current product expires
- As long as the mortgage is up to date, bad credit or missed payments won’t matter
Product transfer process
- Gather Information: For instance, we will need to know the account number for your mortgage. You can find your account number on letters HSBC have sent you. We will need this to access your account and review your options.
- You will receive quotes from us: We will send over a few quotes quickly and give you time to look over these.
- Review options: When you’re ready, look over the product transfer options that HSBC offers. You might need to compare various interest rates, terms, and features to find the best option. We’re here to support you throughout the process, so if you’re uncertain about which option to choose, we can assist you in making the best decision.
