Switching to new mortgage provider - exit fee etc?

Hi all

If I switch mortgage provider after my introductory rate (Post Office 2.68% fix for 5 years) has finished do I have to pay any exit or any other fees? I have looked at my offer of loan and it mentions early redemption charges within the fix period plus a mortgage release fee. The mortgage release fee is £0 "on full repayment of this mortgage" so I assume the new provider sends them the mortgage amount I have requested from them therefore there is no fee to pay? Although it does say "This fee is based on current rates and may be subject to change in the future".

Have I understood this correctly?

Thanks
