Frequently asked questions

When should I start thinking about remortgaging?

Around six months before your current rate ends.

What happens if I don’t remortgage?

You would move onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is usually a higher rate of interest, meaning your payments would increase.

Do I have to change lender when I remortgage?

No. You can stay with your current lender (called a product transfer) or move to a new lender. We’ll compare both options for you and recommend what saves you the most money or best suits your plans.

Will I have to pay fees when remortgaging?

Sometimes. Fees may include lender arrangement fees, valuation fees, solicitor costs, or early repayment charges (if you’re leaving a certain deal early). We’ll calculate whether paying a fee saves you more in the long run.

Can I remortgage early?

Yes, but you may need to pay early repayment charges depending on your current deal. Sometimes securing a new rate early is still worth it — we’ll work through the numbers with you.

Can I borrow more money when I remortgage?

Yes. This is called “raising capital” and can be used for things like home improvements, debt consolidation, or major life events. Lenders will check affordability and your credit profile.

Do I need a valuation of my home?

Often yes — lenders need an up-to-date valuation. Many offer free valuations as part of a remortgage deal.

After I make an application, can I change the lender or rate that I’ve applied for?

Yes — in many cases you can change the lender or the product, even after an application has been submitted.

I haven’t remortgaged before, do you have any simple guides?

We do. Our ‘Remortgage 101’ guide breaks down the process in plain English — from how it works to when to do it and what to look out for. It’s a quick, clear way to get up to speed before exploring your options.
