Could someone explain the mechanics of this

3 Posts

Hopefully someone can explain how this works, so still toying with different options for when my current mortgage fixed rate product ends on the 2nd April this year and i move onto the SVR. When looking at options to stay with current lender can anyone explain how/why if i choose another 2 year fixed rate deal as part of a product transfer the end date would be the 2nd June 2025 and not April... Thanks in advance

Its not uncommon for a 2 year fix to be anywhere between 22-26 months.
They align their products to match that end date
Lenders are allowed to round to the nearest year when discussing the deal. Typically, if you complete early within the issue of that tranche, you will get longer than the headline fixed term. If you complete later in the issue of that tranche you get shorter than the headline fixed term.
