How can I benefit from a remortgage? (General Guide)

• Consolidating your debts: Often times when you have multiple debts you are faced with at least 2 problems. The first is you have several creditors to deal with and the second is most likely you are paying quite high interest for smaller debts such as credit cards or other loans.
• Home Improvements: By releasing equity in your home with a remortgage you are able to make needed home improvements. You may find that this form of financing offers a lower rate of interest and improving your home can raise its value if done properly.
• Switching Policies: With so many lenders offering incentives to win your business you may discover better rates than your current mortgage offers. By switching to a new lender you could save money with a better rate and lower monthly repayments.

While there are many good reasons to remortgage and the goal is saving money, it is wise to weigh the benefits with the possible downside to remortgaging. Using a mortgage broker service, for example, is one step in the right direction. However, careful planning and prudence during your search should yield the results you’re looking for.

What are the possible downsides to a remortgage?

• Early Redemption Charges: Before you remortgage either with the same lender or a switch to a new policy, ask your current provider if there will be an early redemption penalty. By cancelling your current policy to take on another, you are in effect paying off the old mortgage with a new one. There may be an expensive fee for paying off the current mortgage early.
• Evaluation Costs: Any potential new mortgage lender will require you to provide an evaluation of your property at current market value. As an incentive, many providers are offering this for free however, some may not and this may be expensive.
• New Lender Policies: Always ask your potential new lender about future fees or restrictions once you switch. For example, if you choose to remortgage again in the future, ask about early redemption penalties. Ask what future fees you can expect and how often these may occur.

Overall, a UK remortgage can save you £1000’s if you understand all fees involved and have a long term game plan. There are lenders offering no cost legal fees and revaluations and asking questions to determine what it will cost to switch will ensure you make the best financial decision. If you need more information, it’s always best to contact your current mortgage company and any other you might consider switching to. Enquire about fees, policy restrictions (if any), interest rates, mortgage products in order to have a clear picture of what a remortgage may cost.

If any of this sounds overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be.
