Remortgaging With The Same Provider

I am struggling to get an answer to what is hopefully a fairly straightforward question - even from the company concerned. Can anybody help?

I am coming to the end of my discount period on a mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. I have researched the market and am very likely to take another BM product.

Can I assume that some of the standard charges associated with remortgaging fall away in these circumstances? I would hope that fees for valuation, land registry and legals would be not applicable - leaving just the product/arrangement fee.

Would be grateful for any advice or previous experience.

Many thanks.

    That is correct - the product fee is normally the only one that is applicable if staying with your current lender

    You are not re-mortgaging with your current lender, simply looking at a product switch.

    Make sure the deals you have seen are applicable to existing borrowers - give them a call to double check
