Remortgage Advice UK
When your current mortgage deal ends, you have a choice: stay with your existing lender and move onto their Standard Variable Rate (SVR), or remortgage to a new deal. For most homeowners, remortgaging is the financially smarter option, and getting proper advice makes sure you end up on the best deal available to you, not just the most convenient one.
Soul Mortgages advises clients on remortgages for all types of property and circumstances, including complex income, adverse credit, and those looking to release equity or restructure their borrowing.
Common Reasons to Remortgage
- Securing a better rate: Avoid dropping onto your lender’s SVR and lock in a competitive fixed or tracker rate instead
- Releasing equity: Access the capital built up in your property for home improvements, investments, or other purposes
- Debt consolidation: Consolidate other debts into your mortgage to reduce monthly outgoings (though this increases the total amount owed)
- Change of circumstances: Job change, relationship change, change in income structure, or moving to self-employment
- Overpaying or restructuring: Switch to a more flexible product that allows overpayments or offset
- Better LTV: Your property may have increased in value, moving you into a lower LTV band and better rates
Why Use a Broker to Remortgage?
Your existing lender will almost always offer you a product transfer, a new deal on their existing range. It’s easy and requires no new application, but it’s rarely the best rate available. A broker searches the whole market, including lenders you can’t access directly, and compares these against your lender’s retention deals.
We also manage the entire remortgage process on your behalf: assessing your options typically 3-6 months before your deal expires, submitting the application, and liaising with solicitors to ensure a smooth transfer.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
