Switching Mortgage Online - Term Query
When coming to the end of a fixed deal and opt to switch to a retention product online does that mean your mortgage term stays the same? For example I have a 30 year deal fixed for 5 years. When renewing online does my term become 25 years or can I opt for a 30 year product again without requiring any checks?
