Switching your mortgage deal

If your mortgage deal is coming to an end, we'll contact you three months before. We’ll, tell you all about your options, including how you can switch your deal.

What happens when your mortgage deal is ending?

When you take out a fixed rate, tracker or discounted mortgage with us, the initial deal lasts for a set period.

Once this time is up, you have a few options. Including:

  • start paying the Mortgage Variable rate (MVR),
  • pay a discounted rate on our MVR (where applicable) for a set period,
  • take out a mortgage with another lender,
  • switch to another deal with Skipton.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you decide not to switch your deal, your mortgage will automatically move on to our Mortgage Variable Rate. Or where applicable you will pay a discounted rate on our Mortgage Variable Rate for a set period. However, this could mean your payments may be higher or lower, depending on your current rate. The Mortgage Variable Rate is set by Skipton, and can change from time to time.

If you are considering applying for additional borrowing, for things such as home improvements, you might want to do this when you switch to a new deal. Call our mortgage advisers on 0345 607 9842 if you have any questions and to find out more. Additional borrowing is subject to our lending criteria and your individual circumstances.
