Remortgage
Move to a new mortgage
Remortgaging is when you move your existing mortgage to a new deal. This might be with a new lender, or your current one, when it’s called a product transfer or switch.
Most people look to remortgage when their current deal comes to an end, to avoid falling into the lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is usually higher. For others it's to release funds, or to update the property ownership or mortgage term.
Remortgaging can also work if your property has increased in value, moving you to a lower Loan To Value (LTV) band, making you eligible for better rates.
