Birmingham Midshires product transfer service
Before the recent rate rises BM Solutions product transfer service to rate switch was not as popular as it is not as traditonally remortgages invariably worked out cheaper. “Price” however is not the sole factor in determining rate switches as a BM Solutions Product Transfer may be the only option left on the shelve as remortgage rental calculations are much harder achieve due to the rate rises.
Although BM Solutions offers rate switches they want professional Mortgage Brokers to check out their mortgage suitability of customers. The good news is Niche Advice can do just that and does NOT charge for BM Solutions product transfer service.
