Remortgage with Santander

Hi there,
We are currently with Santander and due to remortgage for the first time, we are looking to stay with them and move onto a five year fixed. What information is usually required to remortgage I.e are you required to submit bank statements, p60's etc like a new application or is it fairly straight forward if you want to remain with the same bank?
Many thanks

    You need to produce nothing and it can be done online.

    They will probably not offer you the most competitive rate available.

    Remaining with the same lender is a product switch not a remortgage.

    When you change the deal with the same lender, do they carry out the valuation of the house?

    Not normally... Just call them and ask.

    I have also found that the terms offered by Santander to me as an existing customer are not as competitive as they offer to new customers.

    I've now been with them for 6 years. My fixed rates buy to let is about to expire and others are offering far better headline rates (need to do some more calculations to see if they actually are that good once fees are factored it)

    Is it a simple process to re-mortgage?

    I am currently considering the following:
    Leeds Building Society
    Virgin
    Platform

    Their rates are competitive and Virgin's fee is only £500 which is half what some others charge

    The process for them is simple they ask you for information and then see what you come up with...:rotfl:
