Why Remortgage Now?

‘Mortgage borrowers thinking of locking into current ultra-low rates should act immediately’

Richard Dyson, Personal Finance Editor, Daily Telegraph, 17/08/2013

In this blog, we will give you the information to check what the current standard variable rate is offered by your existing lender. The standard variable rate is the rate you pay once your fixed rate or discount expires.

The data listed below is in alphabetical order, simply match your lender to find their current standard variable rate. Then go to our best buy tables for a snapshot of what is available.

What To Look For When Remortgaging?

  1. When deciding to remortgage the first step is to work out how much flexibility you require compared to the guarantees offered by a fixed rate. It would not be a good idea to tie into a 5 year fixed rate if you intend to move in two years because of schools.
  2. The other major factor is the fees charged by your existing lender and your new mortgage provider to remortgage to them. The major cost is the arrangement fee charged by the new lender. This is where Best Buy is of little benefit as they base the guide solely on the rate and do not calculate the total cost of switching.
  3. Does your current circumstances, income, loans, child care costs, renewable job contract, debt consolidation, match the new lender’s criteria.
  4. Additional features you might require. Overpayments, offset (good for high rate taxpayers), payment holidays, reducing redemption penalties and being portable.
  5. The rate offered by the lender is based upon the equity in your property. The more equity, the more security means less risk to the lender means you are offered a better rate. Remortgages are available with just 10% equity.

Our job is to obtain details of your current financial position, discuss what your plans are for the future and recommend a lender and mortgage product that matches your individual circumstances. We pride ourselves on offering tailored professional advice.
