My HSBC remortgage complete 1st July onto their two year tracker. Can I fix a rate straight away?

Remortgaging next available day after 1st July 2023 onto their two year tracker.
Can I effectively then fix a rate with a rate switch date of say 1st January 2024 if I wanted? (secure a fixed rate 6 months ahead of went I want to, for existing customers).
Can I then keep switching products online as and when fixed rates reduce until the rate switch effectively takes place....? Meaning I am always securing the best fixed rate until I actually decide, yes, this is the best rate I am going to get and fix over the next two years on this tracker....

I am confused? You sign up to a product and it's normally coming with product fees and ERCs so you can't keep switching unless you plan to lose lots of money doing this.IAMIAM said:Remortgaging next available day after 1st July 2023 onto their two year tracker.

When does your current deal end? A product switch is normally only allowed in the last few months of your existing term.
If you are going into a tracker then it will go up and down with base rate so you don't need to do anything. If you want to fix, then once you commit to a rate, that is the rate for that period, you can't keep changing.0
