Remortgage

The Remortgage process can be used for numerous reasons, the most popular of these is to obtain a new mortgage product offering a lower interest rate or terms that are more competitive than your existing lender can offer you.

Most lenders will allow you to raise funds simultaneously for a genuine purpose such as home improvements, debt consolidation or divorce.

What is a Remortgage

In its simplest form a remortgage means shopping around for a better deal. Each lender will offer a wide variety of mortgage products and it is important to check these against what your own lender can offer you.

Even a small change in interest rate or a lower fee structure could mean saving hundreds of pounds.

When to Remortgage

There is no correct time to remortgage, you can do it at any time but certain times would be preferential. Everybody should look at re-mortgaging when their mortgage product expires.

The majority of mortgage products will have a penalty clause period. If you remortgage within this period a substantial charge could be taken by your existing lender making it less viable.

Mortgaging to ensure this penalty clause is not charged enhances the reason to move. At this time you can request extra funds for other purposes.

To take full advantage of the best Interest rates lenders are offering remortgage options should be examined at every opportunity.

Competitiveness

Mainstream lenders want to lend money but they need to attract your business. As such, although legal work is undertaken within a remortgage, there are products available where the legal conveyancing costs are covered for you.

As well as this, products can also provide a mortgage valuation on your property without cost.

In this instance it means you are comparing like for like looking at the interest rates and lender fees rather than ancillary costs.

Advantages

Re-mortgaging on a regular basis can saving you hundreds of pounds and will ensure you pay your mortgage off in the quickest time.
