Are you concerned that you might be paying too much for your mortgage? With interest rates constantly fluctuating, reviewing your mortgage regularly is a smart move - especially when your current deal is up for review. Remortgaging can offer access to more competitive rates that may save you a significant amount of money over the lifetime of your mortgage. But where do you start, and how do you navigate the process smoothly? This is where using a broker, like Cherry Godfrey, can make all the difference.
Why Remortgage?
Over time, mortgage deals come to an end or become outdated compared to newer offers on the market. If you're on a standard variable rate (SVR) or your fixed rate term is expiring soon, it’s worth exploring if there are better deals available. By remortgaging, you may be able to:
- Secure a better interest rate: A lower rate can reduce your monthly payments and save you money over the long term.
- Change your mortgage type: For instance, you may want to switch from a variable to a fixed rate for greater certainty in your payments.
- Access equity: If your property has increased in value, remortgaging can give you access to some of that equity for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other needs.

Consider the Costs, But Don't Let Them Hold You Back
It’s true that remortgaging may involve some costs, such as legal fees for transferring your mortgage to a new lender. However, many lenders offer incentives that can offset these expenses, such as:
- Free valuation reports: This can save you several hundred pounds, depending on the size and value of your property.
- Contributions towards legal fees: Some lenders offer financial assistance for the legal work required, making the switch more affordable.
While it's important to factor in these potential costs, don’t let them discourage you from exploring remortgaging options. Often, the savings you can make over time by securing a better interest rate far outweigh the initial fees.
