Do they better the rates in branch that calculators give?

My fixed rate Lloyds BTL mortgage ends in November.
Using the calculator on their site only comes up with one option and one rate.
Do they better these rates if you make an appointment at a branch or will they only give the same rate the calculators says?

You would potentially apply for a better rate if you go through the full application process or move to a new lender.
But BTL rules change at the end of this month so if you are thinking of switching lenders you are VERY short on time to get an application in.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

They will probably not even be able to offer you what you have online.
Mot lenders now offer product switches online with no advice - the only way they can confirm no advice was given is if there is no human element in the process. So you basically have the option of what they have given you or a full application.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

OK, not sure I can be of any help then as I do not use Lloyds. Someone else may be of more help or you may need to call them.
I think that normally happens if there is something out of the ordinary, ie you have consent to let on a residential mortgage or you are in arrears or something.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

No, it's just trying to switch a 2 year fixed BTL that is coming to an end.
LLoyds don't appear to even publish the rates without 1st using the calculator, makes it harder to compare without having to go to a branch 0
