Leeds BS allows earlier access to product transfer options

Leeds Building Society has announced that it is giving its borrowers more time to decide on their remortgage options before their current deal comes to an end.

The mutual said that existing mortgage members and mortgage intermediaries can now contact Leeds up to six months before the product matures to switch to an alternative product.

“We’re confident that this change will support borrowers and our intermediary partners as they consider the next steps when a mortgage product is coming to an end,” Martese Carton (pictured), director of mortgage distribution at Leeds Building Society, said.

“Recent feedback has indicated that more borrowers are seeking to lock in sooner so they can have peace of mind and potentially fix their rate. Extending this period from three months to six will support our commitment to help existing mortgage customers to easily switch to a new rate when they reach the end of their term.

“The change will also give certainty and support borrowers to plan for ongoing cost-of-living price rises and the pressures that this brings.”
