Remortgage Your Property
Remortgaging is when you switch your mortgage to a new deal with a different lender. This is usually done when your existing deal ends, helping to avoid any early repayment charges or defaulting to a higher standard variable rate.
Whether it’s for your home or a buy-to-let property, remortgaging can help you:
Save money by securing a lower interest rate
Switch mortgage type to better suit your financial goals
Adjust the term to reflect your current circumstances and monthly payments
Release equity to fund home improvements or other large expenses
You can also explore your options in advance, locking in a potential rate to protect against future rate increases—without committing if a better deal appears. Most lenders allow this up to six months before your current deal ends, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead.

Debt consolidation is the process of combining multiple debts—such as credit cards or personal loans—into a single loan or mortgage. This can make repayments simpler, often at a lower interest rate, and help you manage your finances more easily.

A further advance is when your current lender lets you borrow a bit more on top of your existing mortgage. Many people use it for home improvements, paying off other debts, or funding bigger expenses.

Costs can include mortgage arrangement fees, product fees, and potentially early repayment charges (if you’re leaving a mortgage deal early). It’s important to consider any potential costs involved before making changes to your mortgage.
What our clients say
A MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY. YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
