What is re-mortgaging?
Simply switching from your current mortgage deal to another deal with a different mortgage lender.
Why re-mortgage?
It allows you to shop around and look at other deals with other providers to see if you can get a better deal on your mortgage.
What happens with the outstanding mortgage amount?
It simply gets transferred to another mortgage product.
Why re-mortgage?
There are many reasons, but it’s usually to get a better deal
Top reasons to re-mortgage:
- Your current deal which could be a fixed or variable mortgage comes to an end. You normally revert onto a lenders SVR or variable rate mortgage. This may be a higher rate than your fixed or variable rate, meaning your monthly repayments could increase. If you chose to re-mortgage at the end of your current product then you will be more likely be able to reduce your mortgage payments.
- A lenders variable rate mortgage can change at any time, this forces your monthly payments to increase or decrease with very little warning, another reason why people re-mortgage onto a fixed rate deal.

Are there any fees when you re-mortgage?
Yes such as solicitors fees or a fee charged by the lender
