Why consider a remortgage?
Remortgaging can be a smart financial move for a variety of reasons. If your fixed or tracker deal is ending soon, you could be moved onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is typically 2-4% higher—costing you significantly more each month.
It’s also an opportunity to release equity from your home, whether for renovations, large purchases, or consolidating debt into a lower-rate mortgage. If your credit score has improved since your last deal, you might now qualify for more competitive rates. And if you’re on an interest-only mortgage with the term coming to an end, remortgaging can help you switch to a repayment plan. Keep in mind that lenders will assess your income, financial commitments, age, and Loan-to-Value (LTV) with more equity often unlocking better rates.
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
