Hi,
Does anyone know whether the new 'best practice' guidlines for mortgage companies to cover the topic of charging exit/deeds release fees when you simply switch mortgage products within the same provider?
I recently switched my Bank of Scotland mortgage to an Intelligent Finance mortgage (which is part of the same company/group) and was charged a deeds release fee even though, strictly speaking, I was not changing my provider....
Any thoughts/input would be welcome.

I imagine its because BoS and IF are 'technically' different companies. If you had gone BoS to BoS then there wouldnt have been an exit fee.0
