Atom Bank have made some changes to their mortgage products, including making some key updates and reducing our rates.
We’ll soon be extending offer validity
Many of you have requested a longer offer validity period, so we’re currently working to extend our offer validity to 6 months (180 days) across Prime and Near Prime purchase, remortgage, further advance and retention products. Currently, the validity period is 150 days for purchase products and 90 days for remortgages.
While we work to introduce this as standard, upon request, we’ll extend the offer validity period for any offers up to 6 months with immediate effect and without question. This will apply to all new and existing pipeline cases.
We’re bringing forward our product transfer date
Effective immediately, we’re also bringing forward the date where our customers can apply for a product transfer to 6 months before the end of their fixed maturity end date. Currently, they can do this 3 months before the end of their term.
Why are we changing offer validity and product transfers?
In this current period of elevated uncertainty, we’re seeing interest rates on the rise. As a result, many customers want to secure rates sooner as they are unwilling to take the risk in waiting to see if rates will fall. This is especially true for remortgage customers.
By moving to a 6 month offer validity period and product transfer date, we’re aiming to give customers greater peace of mind in knowing they can lock in their deal earlier.
