What happens if a bank's new customer mortgage rates are better than its product transfer rates

Let's say you're with Natwest and its time to renew your fixed rate mortgage. The best remortgage deal on the market (for new customers) is from Natwest. Meanwhile its product transfer rate is more expensive. Can you get the new customer rate? And if so, do you have to go through affordability checks or will it be treated as a product transfer?

    No you can't get it, as you are not a new customer.

    You'd have to apply as a new customer.
