Remortgages, mortgages for today and tomorrow, explained...

Our professional remortgage advisors make it easy for you to switch your rate to save money, keep your mortgage tailored to your needs or even borrow more to improve your home.

What does the process of remortgaging look like?

The whole remortgage process need not be complicated, in fact we help to make it as easy as 1, 2, 3 (with an added 4, 5 and six)

  1. Four to six months before your existing rate is due to expire, speak to one of our highly experienced remortgage advisors.
  2. You will receive a letter from your existing lender telling you what they can offer.
  3. We compare this with what is available elsewhere, including any exit fees or early repayment charges that apply to your current mortgage. We also match your needs and changes in your circumstances to ensure you are getting the most suitable product, loan amount, loan term and features.
    For example, if you’ve just had children and want to borrow more to do up the garden or kitchen, your perfect deal would be different from someone who has received a lump sum and wants to reduce their loan to value ratio.
  4. Once your broker has found the best deal they’ll get in contact with you to talk you through it and make sure your situation hasn’t changed. Once everything is confirmed you can apply for the new mortgage through us, even if it is best to stick with your existing provider as we have direct, online access through all the major lenders. We can help you check your credit history, get the right paperwork together and find out the outstanding balance on your current mortgage. We will make sure the process is smooth, easy and you receive professional advice you can rely on.
  5. Once your new mortgage has been accepted and the money has come through you can pay off the outstanding balance on your old mortgage and close the account.
  6. You benefit from our Lifetime Promise and we will look after you every time you need to refinance or remortgage, making sure you never pay more than you have to.

 

You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.  Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage

Why would I remortgage?

Remortgaging replaces your current mortgage with a new one. This can happen for several reasons: your existing mortgage term is ending, you’re seeking a lower interest rate, you want to modify the loan terms, or you wish to borrow additional funds for things like home renovations.

Some commonly asked questions and answers

If your mortgage is nearing its end, it’s advisable to contact our remortgage advisors at least five to six months beforehand. This timeframe allows us to assess your situation, see what your current lender might offer to keep you, and compare it with other options on the market. It’s crucial not to automatically renew with your existing lender, as some may initially offer attractive rates but not the best options when it’s time to renew. This could lead you to a more expensive deal that no longer fits your financial needs, especially if your circumstances have changed.

Many clients choose to remortgage as an opportunity to access extra funds for home improvements, like a new kitchen or bathroom renovation. If your home’s value has risen since your purchase and your mortgage balance has decreased, you may have sufficient equity to borrow additional money. We can help you determine if this is feasible and sensible based on your current financial situation.

It’s also important to consider whether your current mortgage terms still meet your needs. Simply switching to a new rate without reviewing your affordability and circumstances may not be the best approach. For instance, if your income has increased and current rates are lower than when you first borrowed, you might be able to shorten the mortgage term. This could bring you closer to owning your home outright and save you significant amounts in interest. If you have savings, exploring options like an offset mortgage could also be beneficial.

We highly recommend seeking professional advice before making any decisions, and we’re here to provide guidance to help you assess whether remortgaging is the right choice for you.

While having bad credit can make it more challenging to remortgage, it’s not impossible. Some lenders specialise in offering mortgages to those with less-than-perfect credit. Consulting a mortgage adviser can help you find the best options available.

The remortgaging process typically takes around four to eight weeks, but this can vary depending on the lender and your specific circumstances. It’s important to stay in touch with your adviser throughout the process for updates.
