Want to remortgage and make sure you get the most suitable deal? Or maybe you’re not sure if you should remortgage, or how to go about it? As experienced mortgage advisers, Beewise FS Ltd are here to make the process as straightforward as possible and recommend the right choice for you.
What is remortgaging?
Remortgaging is when you switch from your current mortgage deal to a new one with a different provider. Most people take out a mortgage deal for a certain period of time when they first buy their home – this could be 2 years, 5 years or longer. Once this period ends, you’ll switch onto the lender’s standard variable rate, an interest rate that can change regularly.
When switching to a new deal, the amount you repay is transferred to another mortgage policy which might have a different interest rate, different monthly repayments and new terms.
Why remortgage?
There are lots of reasons why people remortgage, all depending on your current circumstances – here’s just a few:
· To reduce monthly repayments with a mortgage offering a better rate
· You’re worried about interest rates increasing and want the security of fixed monthly payments
· Switching from a variable rate mortgage to a fixed term one
· To increase monthly repayment and pay off your mortgage faster
· The value of your property has increased, which could mean potential savings on your current rate and/or monthly payments
· Raising additional funds
We’d always recommend using a Beewise advisor when looking to remortgage, as we’ll talk through your current situation and future plans to help decide the right mortgage for your needs.
Can I borrow more money?
Yes! Some people are happy to keep their borrowing the same and reduce monthly payments, or bring down the number of years left on their mortgage. But some want to borrow additional funds on top of their current mortgage balance.
This could be for home improvements, like an extension, a conservatory, or just general updates. You could also borrow more and use this to repay other debts like loans and credit cards, consolidating it into one payment. Or, you might want to borrow a lump sum to use as a deposit towards a second home or Buy to Let property. As Buy to Let specialists we can also give you advice on becoming a first-time landlord and put a Buy to Let mortgage in place, helping you through the whole process.
