Remortgages
What is remortgaging?
Remortgaging is when you replace your existing mortgage plan with new terms. It could help you find a better deal and reduce your monthly mortgage payments, while also freeing up funds for home improvements or to help with life’s important moments – like a wedding.

Pros and cons of remortgaging
Like any important decision in life, you should weigh up the pros and cons of remortgaging before making the big commitment.
Pros of remortgaging
- Raise additional funds Whether it’s increasing the resale value of your property with a new extension or financing a wedding, you may need the extra cash to take the next step. By remortgaging, you can free up funds against your property, giving you a lump sum to spend as you need.
- You may find a better rate With property values increasing over time, your home may be worth more than when you bought it. By getting a remortgage quote, you can often find a much cheaper rate, meaning you could potentially save on the interest you’re paying.
Cons of remortgaging
- There are fees to consider When switching lenders, you may have to pay your original lender a penalty fee. This is called an Early Repayment Charge. Not all mortgages have Early Repayment Charges – it will depend on the type of product you have – so it’s important to see whether any potential costs outweigh the benefits you’ll get from any cash sum or new repayment plan.
- You don’t have much equity yet If you’ve only just purchased your home or don’t have much equity invested yet, it’s unlikely you’ll find a better rate. You may find it’s worth waiting until you’ve paid off more of your mortgage before considering a switch.
