What is remortgaging?

Remortgaging is when you change the mortgage on your property, either by switching to a new lender or making a product switch.

Reasons you may consider remortgaging

1
Your mortgage is moving to a standard variable rate (SVR)

This could be higher than the variable or fixed interest mortgage you’ve moved from - so moving could lower your interest rate when compared to your SVR.

2
You want to borrow extra

You could release available equity from your property when you remortgage to pay for home improvements.

3
Mortgage overpayments

You could move to find a provider with more flexible terms that lets you overpay without charge.

4
Increase property value

If your property value has increased, your lower LTV might help you qualify for lower interest rates.

5
Life changes

From starting a family to expecting a significant change to your income, remortgaging gives you a chance to find a deal that’s a better fit for you now and in the future.
