The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) defines a mortgage prisoner as someone who cannot switch to another product, or remortgage to a new lender, despite being up to date with their payments.
A mortgage prisoner is a customer trapped on an old mortgage product which does not offer the ability to switch to a cheaper rate. This may be due to new affordability rules that have been introduced since the original mortgage was taken out, meaning that a customer would no longer qualify for their original loan. It could also be because the customer’s circumstances have changed since they took out their mortgage, or because their current mortgage is with an inactive lender or firm not authorised for mortgage lending.
The FCA defines someone as a mortgage prisoner if:
We are currently reviewing all customer accounts and will be sending a letter to any customer that we consider to be a mortgage prisoner by 15 January 2021.
For further information about the rule changes, the Money Advice Service has a section within its website dedicated to providing information for mortgage prisoners at www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/help-for-mortgage-prisoners
You may also wish to seek advice from an independent mortgage adviser as they will be able to advise whether switching to a new product is right for you. The FCA has information to help you find an independent financial adviser available on their website www.fca.org.uk/consumers/finding-adviser
