Santander Remortgage vs a Whole-of-Market Broker

Thinking of taking Santander's product transfer offer? Before you press "accept", let us compare Santander's rate against the other 90+ UK lenders — a whole-of-market remortgage often beats a direct product transfer by 0.15–0.40% on rate, and you also earn cashback of up to £1,500. The Santander product-transfer path stays open until your fix ends, so there's no downside to running both quotes.

Frequently asked questions

Should I take Santander's product transfer or switch lender?

It depends on the rate. In most weeks a whole-of-market remortgage beats Santander's direct product transfer by 0.15–0.40% on the same loan size — enough to save several hundred pounds a year even after conveyancing costs. On top of that, remortgages earn cashback up to £1,500 (product transfers earn up to £750). We'll quote both and tell you which wins in writing.

Do you work with Santander?

Yes — Santander is on our lender panel. If Santander's product transfer is genuinely the cheapest option we'll tell you honestly and help you take it. If a switch to a different lender saves more, we'll show you the numbers side-by-side.

How much cashback will I get on my remortgage?

Cashback Remortgages pays cashback of up to £1,500 on eligible UK remortgages, on a sliding scale based on your loan size. The full ladder: £50k – £100k loan → RE £50 · PT £25 · £101k – £200k loan → RE £210 · PT £107 · £201k – £300k loan → RE £315 · PT £157 · £301k – £400k loan → RE £450 · PT £225 · £401k – £500k loan → RE £575 · PT £287 · £501k – £600k loan → RE £690 · PT £345 · £601k – £700k loan → RE £850 · PT £425 · £701k – £800k loan → RE £975 · PT £485 · £801k – £900k loan → RE £1,100 · PT £550 · £901k – £1m loan → RE £1,250 · PT £625 · £1m+ loan → RE £1,500 · PT £750. For a £250,000 loan you'd receive RE £315 (remortgage) or PT £157 (product transfer) — you claim one or the other depending on the offer you accept.

Is Cashback Remortgages a real mortgage broker?

Yes. Cashback Remortgages is an FCA-authorised, whole-of-market UK mortgage brokerage. Advice is regulated, we compare 90+ lenders, we charge zero broker fee, and we pay cashback of up to £1,500 on eligible remortgages on completion day.

Are you whole-of-market?

We provide whole-of-market mortgage advice. We compare the products available to us for your circumstances and explain our recommendation, including costs and eligibility. Some direct-only deals may not be available through a broker.

Do you charge a broker fee?

No. Cashback Remortgages is paid by the lender, not by you. You pay zero broker fee on remortgages and product transfers.

Will checking my rate affect my credit score?

Your initial savings check uses only the information you provide — no lender hits your credit file at this stage. A hard credit search only happens once you instruct us to proceed with a specific lender's application.

How fast can I remortgage?

Timing varies with the lender, valuation, legal work and your documents. Begin comparisons before your deal expires; your adviser will confirm the lender's offer validity and help plan a completion date. A completion time is not guaranteed.
