Halifax online swap experience

Hi guys
I just want to let anyone know that the Halifax swapping deals online is sooo easy :D
It literally took 10 minutes and there were no credit checks or affordability checks.
This was keeping the term and value the same but I do plan overpayments which should reduce it by 2 years :T

    i did the swap 2 years ago and was also impressed with how easy it was.

    do you mind me asking what made you want to stick with halifax this time? i was tempted to fix with them again but the rates didn't seem too competitive.

    i've tried for a better rate elsewhere knowing that i have the halifax rate in 10 minutes as a fall back.

    if you cba to shop around it might be more beneficial to you too?!! of course rates might also go up in the meantime so it is a bit of a risk (and lots of effort)

    Hi prufrock, I only have around 30,000 left on the mortgage and it should be finished in 5 years max and by the time I factor in the fees of moving it made more sense to just stick with Halifax.
    The rates are a little higher but like I say no fees and fix in 3 month early :D
