What?
This chapter applies with respect to an offer made by a firm to a customer with a view to the firm:
- (1)
-
(2)
varying the terms of a regulated mortgage contract entered into by the customer in any of the following ways:
- (a)
adding or removing a party;
- (b)
making a further advance; or
- (c)
switching all or part of the regulated mortgage contract from one interest rate to another;1
- (a)
(whether or not the customer agrees to enter into the regulated mortgage contract or variation).
In relation to a regulated lifetime mortgage contract, this chapter, MCOB 6, is modified by MCOB 9 (Lifetime mortgages: product disclosure).2
In MCOB 6, a reference to an offer to enter into a regulated mortgage contract is to be read as including a reference to an offer to vary an existing regulated mortgage contract in a manner specified in if the context so requires.
Firms may diverge from the requirements in MCOB 5.6 (Content of illustrations) where necessary to reflect the fact that they are providing an illustration for a variation as part of an offer document.
