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.

    Access your home’s equity

    As part of your remortgage, you could access some of your home’s equity as a lump sum. This could be a more cost-effective method of borrowing for home improvements or something else.

FAQs

Q

What are my options when my current mortgage deal comes to an end?

A

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.

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.
