How soon can I product switch?

I have just taken out a mortgage product, 2yr tracker and I wanted to switch to a new product with the same lender. Is there normally a minimum amount of time that I have to stay with this product before they will let me switch? It has no ERCs so in reality could leave at anytime.

    Speak to the mortgage centre on Monday and ask them if you can switch to the new deal

    @Snookie12cat Can't speak for all lenders but with the Nationwide tracker I remember re-switching clients to a cheaper new product within a month or two of completing on the original remo to a tracker.

    Can you switch online? See what happens. You haven’t said the lender so we’re kind of guessing.
