Mortgage product transfer and cancer

Options
Hi
Does anyone know if your mortgage lender need to know about your cancer diagnosis and being off sick when you are doing a product transfer with the same lender. It is only a small mortgage. And the repayments will still be being made and you still have a job and you are going back to work in a few months. Many thanks

    Nope. No disclosure requirement.

  • I have a mortgage life insurance with integrated critical illness cover. I am thinking of claiming. Do you know if my mortgage will become aware of the cancer diagnosis then.

    No. There is no link between the two.
