Rate Switch Made Easy
If you have not submitted business to the Society within the last 12 months, you will need to complete our registration process before you can complete a rate switch on behalf of your client. Please, click here to download a registration form.
You can complete a rate switch for your client even if you didn't advise on the original mortgage, as long as you have completed a Registration Form and Rate Switch Authority Form.
Completing a rate switch
There are 3 simple steps to complete your client’s rate switch. You’ll find some questions and answers in the Rate Switch Guide below. If there’s anything else you need to know, please call our Business Retention Team on 0121 521 4088 or email rateswitch@thetipton.co.uk.

When you submit a rate switch request you'll need to provide your clients with a copy of our Privacy Notice. You can download a copy from our Privacy Notice page.
