Guide to Remortgages


Here is a useful guide to remortgages. What is a remortgage? A remortgage is when the terms of the original mortgage are renegotiated, and usually means that the borrower increases the amount that they are borrowing, which is often possible due to a rise in the value of the property.

A remortgage is simply the act of paying off your current mortgage and taking out a new one. Many people do not realise that they are able to do this and so are losing out on low interest rates. By remortgaging your home, you could save significant amounts on your monthly payments.

Remortgaging is changing mortgages without moving home. It is the process of changing your mortgage for a better rate, or to release some of the equity in your home, or to consolidate your debts. Getting a remortgage involves ending your current mortgage scheme and moving to a new one.

A remortgage is the process by which you change from your current mortgage to a new mortgage. A remortgage generally involves changing mortgage lenders because most lenders do not generally offer remortgage schemes to existing customers.

The remortgage usually will involve a fresh survey of the property taking place, and an updated valuation of the property, which will take into account any changes in value due to home improvements, or due to fluctuations in the local or national property market.

A remortgage can be used for the purpose of gaining lower interest rates on your mortgage or raising finance through releasing equity.

A remortgage is a great way of saving money, as it is likely to lower your mortgage interest rates. A mortgage is also one of the cheapest forms of loans around, so if you're looking to raise finance, it makes sense to remortgage your home.

Releasing equity is a good way of raising additional finance. If your home has positive equity - its market value is greater than the outstanding mortgage - you can increase the size of your mortgage.

A remortgage may allow the homeowner to repay other debts such as credit cards, personal loans or it may be a way of paying for home improvements such as a new extention, conservatory or loft conversion.

When choosing a new lender for your remortgage, make sure to find out whether the lender offers free valuation, set up fees or that they pay for the legal fees.

A remortgage should be considered for a variety of reasons:

low interest rates - a remortgage can allow you to gain a better rate of interest and reduce your monthly mortgage repayments.

debt consolidation - a remortgage can allow home owners to consolidate their existing debt into one manageable monthly payment.

raise finance - a remortgage allows home owners to raise finance. As its interest rates are among the lowest of all loan types, a remortgage is an ideal solution to finance issues.
