Re-mortgaging

Re-mortgaging could be ideal if you want to minimise your mortgage repayments or raise additional funds, but it can feel like a daunting process with so many options. Our advisers can help you navigate an extensive range of highly competitive products to find the right one for you.

Re-mortgaging

You may choose to re-mortgage if:

  • your current deal is about to end – if this is the case, the provider will put you on its standard variable rate (SVR), which is likely to be higher than other deals;
  • you want a better rate;
  • your home’s value has increased;
  • you want to pay your mortgage off quicker – some deals won’t let you overpay on your mortgage; or
  • you want to borrow more money.

Whatever your reason for re-mortgaging, our advisers are here to help.

While you can re-mortgage at any time, it’s best to wait until:

  • you approach the end of a fixed rate mortgage deal – you can find another deal up to six months before the SVR kicks in
  • interest rates are lower than the rate you’re currently paying
  • the value of your home has significantly increased; or
  • the benefits outweigh the costs.

The amount you can borrow will depend on a combination of a number of factors 

  • Your income  
  • Your spending  
  • Your credit score  - which is based on your credit history 
  • The value of your property 

Each mortgage provider will have a limit on what they’ll lend you compared with the current value of your property.

The lower the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, the better – you’re likely to have more options and get a cheaper deal on your mortgage. Our advisers will work with you to assess the options and find the right deal for you.
