What Is a Remortgage?

A remortgage involves switching your current mortgage to a new mortgage product. This could be with your existing mortgage lender or a new provider. Many homeowners remortgage when their current mortgage deal is ending, or when they want to secure a lower interest rate or unlock equity in their property.

You can choose to stay with the same lender via a product transfer or move to a new lender offering more competitive rates or terms. At Montgomery Financial, we help you understand the best path based on your mortgage balance, credit score, and long-term goals.

Why Do People Remortgage?

There are several reasons why people choose to remortgage:

Reducing your monthly mortgage repayments by switching to a lower interest rate.

Fixing your rate to protect against potential rate increases.

Raising funds for home improvements, extensions, or renovations.

Consolidating debts into one manageable monthly payment.

Accessing equity from your home to support large purchases or investments.

Switching to a different type of mortgage, such as from interest-only to repayment.

At Montgomery Financial, we help you evaluate all available remortgage options to ensure your decision aligns with your financial goals.

Remortgaging for Home Improvements

Remortgaging for home improvements is a popular option for homeowners wanting to enhance their living space. By releasing equity from your home, you can fund extensions, kitchen remodels, loft conversions, or energy-efficient upgrades. This option often provides lower interest rates than personal loans or credit cards and spreads the cost over your mortgage term.

Other Common Remortgaging Goals

Beyond home improvements, many clients choose to remortgage for:

Debt consolidation – combining loans and credit cards into one mortgage payment.

Securing a better deal if your current mortgage is ending.

Reducing risk by switching from a variable rate to a fixed-rate mortgage.

Extending or shortening your mortgage term based on your life plans and income.

When Is the Best Time to Remortgage?

The best time to remortgage is usually three to six months before your current mortgage deal ends. This allows time to lock in a new rate and avoid moving onto a lender’s standard variable rate. However, you can remortgage at any time – especially if you can secure a better mortgage deal that offsets any early repayment charges.

What You Need for a Remortgage Application

To apply for a remortgage, you’ll need to provide:

Proof of income and employment.

Recent bank statements and ID.

Details of your existing mortgage and mortgage lender.

An idea of your property value and any outstanding mortgage balance.

Montgomery Financial will guide you through the full remortgage application, ensure accurate affordability checks, and support you in gathering all required documentation.

What Are the Costs of Remortgaging?

Typical remortgage costs can include:

Mortgage arrangement and booking fees.

Valuation and legal fees (especially when switching lenders).

Early repayment charges if ending your current mortgage early.

We ensure all remortgage costs are explained upfront, and we work to find the most cost-effective remortgage deal for your situation.

How Will Remortgaging Affect My Credit Score?

Your credit score plays a vital role in your remortgage eligibility. Lenders will review your credit report to determine how much you can borrow and the interest rates you qualify for. Montgomery Financial will review your credit score in advance and help you prepare for a strong mortgage application.

How Much Can I Borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on your income, property value, equity, credit history, and the lender’s criteria. We use advanced remortgage calculators to estimate your borrowing potential and monthly repayments based on current remortgage rates.

Is Remortgaging Right for You?

Remortgaging can be the right choice if:

You want to secure a better mortgage rate.

Your current mortgage deal is coming to an end.

You want to raise funds for renovations or big expenses.

You are consolidating debts for simpler payments.

You need to change your mortgage term or type.

Our team will analyse your mortgage needs and ensure you get the right mortgage product for your financial goals.
