Switching your existing Yorkshire Building Society mortgage

If you’ve been financially affected by coronavirus and have taken a mortgage payment holiday or received furloughed income, don’t worry. Providing your account wasn’t in arrears prior to the holiday and you meet our usual criteria, you’ll still be able to switch your mortgage deal with us when your existing deal is coming to an end.

Early Repayment Charges apply and other fees and charges may apply.
