What happens if you do nothing?

When your fixed rate ends, you automatically move to your lender’s standard rate—and it’s almost always much higher.

Do nothing

Rates typically higher — well above fixed deals currently available

Variable rate — can rise at any time, making budgeting hard

No benefit — you’re paying more for nothing in return

Example: £250k mortgage
+£350/month
Extra cost vs a new fixed rate

Switch to a new deal

Lock in a competitive rate — typically lower on fixed deals

Predictable payments — know exactly what you’ll pay each month

Peace of mind — protected from rate rises for 2-5 years

Example: £250k mortgage
Save £4,200/year

Your questions answered

When should I start looking for a new deal?

Start 3-6 months before your current deal ends. Most mortgage offers are valid for 3-6 months, so you can lock in a rate early and let it sit until your deal expires. This way you’re protected if rates rise, and you won’t accidentally roll onto the SVR.

What is the SVR and why should I avoid it?

SVR stands for Standard Variable Rate—the rate your lender moves you to when your fixed deal ends. It’s typically 7-9%, much higher than fixed rates currently available. It can also change at any time, making your payments unpredictable. Switching to a new fixed deal almost always saves money.

Will checking my options affect my credit score?

No. Getting a quote from Albot uses a “soft search” which doesn’t show up on your credit file and won’t affect your score. Only when you proceed with a full application does a hard search happen—and that’s standard for any mortgage application.

Should I stay with my current lender or switch?

It depends. Staying with your lender (a “product transfer”) is often quicker and simpler—no valuation or legal work. But switching to a new lender might get you a better rate, especially if your home has increased in value. We compare both options so you can see which saves you more.

How long does switching take?

A product transfer with your existing lender can complete in days. A full switch to a new lender typically takes 4-8 weeks. Getting your quote from Albot takes just 90 seconds, so the sooner you start, the more time you have to complete before your deal ends.

Are there fees for switching?

There may be arrangement fees, valuation fees, and legal costs—but many lenders offer deals with free valuations and legal work for switches. If you’re leaving your current deal early, you may also face early repayment charges. We show you all costs upfront so you can see if switching is worth it.

Representative Example (Mortgages)

If you borrow £200,000 over 25 years, initially on a fixed rate for 5 years at 5.25% and for the remaining 20 years on the lender’s standard variable rate of 7.99%, you would make 60 monthly payments of £1,199.12 and 240 monthly payments of £1,393.46. The total amount of credit is £200,000. The total amount payable would be £418,263. The overall cost for comparison is 6.8% APR representative.
