How to switch mortgage deals

Switch your way

If you're happy picking your next deal you can switch online, without mortgage advice. It’s easy to do and can be done from the comfort of your sofa or on the go.

Or if you'd like a little help selecting your new rate you can speak to your Intermediary or one of our Mortgage Advisers.

Switching deals is simple

Switching is simply swapping your existing mortgage deal to another with your current lender.

No need to reassess your affordability or require proof of income. A new valuation is also not needed, as a UK House Price Index is used to calculate the value of your property

When you keep your mortgage with The Cambridge, there is no application fee for any deal you switch to.
