Remortgages & Product Transfers
You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Whether you’re looking to save money, release equity, or simply find a better deal, reviewing your mortgage can make a real difference. I’ll help you explore all your options, so you can make confident, informed decisions that suit your goals and lifestyle.
Remortgage
A remortgage involves switching your current mortgage to a new deal, either with your existing lender or a different one. People typically consider remortgaging for several reasons:
– Securing a Better Rate
If your current mortgage deal is ending or you’re on a standard variable rate (SVR), remortgaging could offer a lower interest rate, potentially reducing your monthly payments.
– Releasing Equity
If your property has increased in value, remortgaging may allow you to release some of this equity as cash for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other purposes.
– Consolidating Debt
You can consolidate high-interest debts (like credit cards or personal loans) into your mortgage, potentially lowering your overall monthly payments.
– Changing Terms
Remortgaging can allow you to switch from an interest-only to a repayment mortgage, or adjust the term length of your mortgage.
Product Transfer
A product transfer, on the other hand, is a simpler process where you switch from your current mortgage deal to a new deal offered by your existing lender. Key points about product transfers include:
– Convinience
Product transfers are typically quicker and involve less paperwork compared to remortgaging with a new lender.
– Limited to Current Leader
You can only choose from the mortgage products offered by your current lender. This may limit your options compared to remortgaging with different lenders.
– Fees and Costs
Some lenders may offer product transfers with reduced fees or no fees at all, making it a cost-effective option depending on your circumstances.
– Timing
Product transfers are often considered when your current mortgage deal is coming to an end,helping you switch to a new deal before reverting to the lender’s SVR.
