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.

Quick answers

  • It’s worth thinking about remortgaging if:

    • Your current deal is coming to an end

    • Interest rates have dropped and you could save money

    • You want to release equity for home improvements or other expenses

    • You’d like to switch mortgage type or adjust the term to better suit your finances

    • You’re looking to consolidate debt

    Checking your mortgage regularly helps make sure it still works for you.

    • Product transfer: Switching to a new deal with your current lender if your goals haven’t changed. 

    • Remortgage: Switching your mortgage to a new lender to get a better rate, release equity, or change terms. This involves legal work (managed by the lender and usually “free legal”) and a full affordability check.

  • 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.
