This depends entirely on your circumstances. In general, your options are: do nothing and roll onto the “Standard Variable Rate” (SVR), choose a new deal from your existing lender (called a “Product Transfer”) or change lender entirely (called a “remortgage”). However, there are so many other factors to consider and speaking to one of our specialist advisers is highly recommended - zero hassle and fee free.
Remortgage advisers
Remortgaging is the process of switching your existing mortgage to a new one. This is done for various reasons, such as getting a better interest rate, reducing monthly repayments, releasing equity from your property or consolidating debt.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Negotiations with lenders

Experience in action
By having highly experienced, specialised and dedicated remortgage advisers, their in-depth knowledge of the lending market allows them to extract better value for our customers.
Things to consider
Get started early
In our experience, one of the most important factors that will determine what remortgage options you have is what your property is worth. This is because it will determine how much you can borrow against the value of the property and what eventual rate you get. The lower the Loan to Value the more options you will have. Getting an accurate and realistic idea, by doing your research online in advance, will help you get the right remortgage first time.
Things to consider
Finding the most-suited remortgage option
Remortgaging can bring enormous benefits but there are many things to think about, such as what deals are available from your existing lender, when your deal ends, whether you want to borrow more money and what your short, medium and long term objectives are. An experienced remortgage adviser will help you understand what’s possible and practical.
Things to consider
Time it wisely
The mortgage market is constantly changing in line with the economy, housing market and other factors. Timing is therefore critical when it comes to securing a new deal. Starting your research as early as possible before your current mortgage deal comes to an end is recommended to allow enough time for processing and to give you the best chance of securing a great deal. For tailored jargon-free advice, speak to one of our remortgage experts.

FAQs
Q
What are my options when my current mortgage deal comes to an end?
A
Q
What are the pros and cons of remortgaging to a fixed-rate mortgage over a variable-rate mortgage?
A
Fixed-rate mortgages mean fixed repayments which makes for easy budgeting and certainty for a number of years ahead. However, they lack flexibility because an early repayment charge will apply if you redeem the mortgage before the end of the fixed rate period. A variable rate product offers flexibility as they will usually have low or no early repayment charges (ERCs) and you might benefit if the Bank of England Base Rate drops.
Q
Can mortgage brokers help with remortgaging if I have complex financial circumstances and unsatisfactory credit history?
A
Yes, customers with complex financial circumstances, such as self-employed, adverse credit, multiple properties, foreign passport holders, contractors and many other reasons, are well advised to speak to a broker. They will be able to use their experience and knowledge about lender criteria to open access to more lenders, often saving you time and money.
