Remortgage
Remortgaging is in simple terms the process
of switching your existing mortgage to a new one, usually
with a different lender. To remortgage you secure a new
mortgage against your property and use the money from this
to repay the previous existing mortgage, effectively transferring
it. Changes in base interest rates and introductory offers
can often mean that the rates available at present are lower
than those agreed for your mortgage when you took it out,
remortgaging is the key to allowing you to take advantage
of lower interest rates and better mortgage deals.
Reasons to remortgage
There are so many reasons why a remortgage could benefit you financially,
so we have just mentioned the most important ones here:
Save money - Reduce outgoings
By switching to a mortgage deal with lower interest rates
you could save a lot of money in the long term. When you
consider the amount of money involved, and the time over
which the interest is being charged on it, you can see that
even a small reduction to the interest rate can result in
significant savings.
If you are primarily looking to reduce
your monthly outgoings by remortgaging, then not only should
you look for a lower rate, but you could also increase the
term of the mortgage, as spreading the repayment over a
greater period of time will reduce what you pay each month.
Debt consolidation - All debts into one mortgage
Mortgage interest rates are some of the lowest available compared
with other loans. By converting all your existing debts into one
more easily manageable low interest remortgage you could save money
and make life easier.
Equity Release - Releasing the positive equity in your home
If your home has increased in value since you got your mortgage
you may be experiencing positive equity. This means that
the current market value of your home is greater than its
current mortgage value. Releasing ths equity can be the
cheapest form of borrowing.
There are also specific equity
release plans that provide an alternative income for your retirement.
Other reasons - Unique situations
There are also other unique reasons for remortgaging that apply
to specific lenders - such as remortgaging to a current account
to make your money work more efficiently, or switching to a fixed
interest rate in times of high interest rate fluctuation.
Some lenders offer remortgage packages
with a particular reason in mind, such as home improvement
packages and debt consolidation packages. Whatever the reason
for remortgaging there is no denying the massive savings
you can make.
