Remortgaging FAQs
Here are some common questions and answers, alternatively you can call us on 01234 567 890
What is remortgaging?
Remortgaging is when you change the mortgage on your current home, or on a new property purchase, to a different lender.
What is a product transfer?
When looking at your remortgage options and comparing products it might be best to stay with your existing lender. This would be called a product transfer rather than a remortgage.
Why do people remortgage or do a product transfer?
There are several reasons why people remortgage, the most common reason is because their current fixed rate is coming to an end. Other reasons include:
- Debt consolidation to pay off high-interest credit cards and loans
- Borrow more money to make home improvements
- To reduce their mortgage term so they will be mortgage-free sooner
- To exit their current deal and move to a product with a lower rate and lower monthly repayments, although this will probably incur an early repayment charge
- They are moving home and are unable to port their existing mortgage over to newproperty and/or require additional borrowing to complete the purchase
- To release equity from their home to purchase a second property
- To add or remove someone from the mortgage deeds, for example if a couple separate

In most cases, the lower your loan-to-value, the better the interest rate. You can decrease your loan-to-value by borrowing less, putting down a bigger deposit or seeking a higher valuation on your property.
