Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your Mortgage

Are you looking to raise funds for your home improvements by remortgaging? Perhaps you’ve reached the end of your term and you want to make sure you have the a competitive deal? If you haven’t remortgaged before, you may not be sure where to even begin and sometimes your situation can mean the process of remortgaging isn’t as simple as you thought.

There are plenty of options avaliable to you when remortgaging.  Get in touch with us to find out more about remortgaging and see what your options are. 

Your options...

If you like to know where you stand each month with your payments then a fixed rate is for you. The rate of interest that you'll be charged will remain fixed for an agreed length of time.  

 

Your monthly payment fluctuates in line with a standard variable rate (SVR) of interest, which is set by the lender. You probably won’t get penalised if you decide to change lenders and you may also be able to repay additional amounts without incurring a penalty. Many lenders won’t offer their standard variable rate to new borrowers.
Your monthly payment rises and lowers in line with a chosen Base Rate (usually the Bank of England Base Rate).

The rate charged on the mortgage ‘tracks’ that rate, usually for a set period of two to three years. You may have to pay a penalty to exit the agreement, especially during the tracker period. You may also be liable to pay an early repayment charge if you overpay on your mortgage during the tracker period.

A tracker mortgage may suit you if you can afford to pay more when interest rates go up – and, of course, you’ll benefit when they go down. It’s not a good choice if your budget won’t stretch to higher monthly payments.

These schemes allow you to overpay, underpay or even take a payment ‘holiday’. Any unpaid interest will be added to the outstanding mortgage, while any overpayment will reduce it. Some have the facility to draw down additional funds to a pre-agreed limit.

Like a variable rate mortgage, your monthly repayments can go up or down. However, you’ll get a discount on the lender’s standard variable rate for a set period of time, after which you’ll usually be switched to the full standard variable rate. You may have to pay a penalty for both overpayments and early repayment and the lender may choose not to reduce (or to delay reducing) its variable rate – even if the base rate goes down.

Discounted rate mortgages have the advantage of offering a gentler start to your mortgage repayments, at a time when money may be tight. However, you must be confident that you’ll be able to afford your repayments when the discount period ends and the rate increases.

It is always wise to review your mortgage to ensure you are getting the right package for you. If you are on a fixed term rate, normally it is best to review when this term is coming to an end, as this is when your rate is most likely to increase which will cause your monthly payments to increase.
