    Thank you just spoke to HSBC who were very helpful and they said it would be a case of remortgaging to a different product but can be done as a transfer of product. They basically said it would help that we have 10 years solid payments with them when switching because they see on paper we are good customers but of course because it is a new product it would go through as if applying for a mortgage from scratch but that the fact we had a good mortgage history of payments previously that won't harm even if it doesn't influence the decision if that makes sense

    But it wouldn't just be a transfer of product.

    If you stuck with HSBC, you'd also need to apply for a Transfer of Equity, which means you'd need to apply to them to remove your father in law from the mortgage, and to replace him with you.

    I think a broker would be helpful for you, as HSBC haven't given you full information. (Or you didn't tell them about the proposed name changes)

  • Ah sorry I see the post you mean that was for my sister she is looking to mortgage next year. We did it on my account. Sorry that will be deleted as I have not meant to mislead
  • This is confusing as I've used this money expert account to ask questions on my behalf and my sisters so not all posts are mine and vice versa didn't know people would look at posts to make a response so if confused that's why it's not adding up.
