Why Remortgage
There are many reasons why you might want to remortgage
but probably the main one is to save money. For most people their
mortgage will be the biggest financial commitment they ever make,
so it pays to shop around to find the best deal.
Around one third of all people with a mortgage
are on their lenders standard variable rate, and if you are one
of them you are almost certainly paying to much for your mortgage.
You may not have to move your mortgage to another lender to get
a better rate. You should first contact your current lender to
see what deal if any they will offer you. Even if they do offer
you
a
better deal it still pays to shop around to see what the other
lenders are offering. Before you look at moving your mortgage
you should check to see if there are any penalty's or fee payable
if you leave your lender. Also if moving your mortgage you need
to check the fees charged by the new lenders, since the credit
crunch these have gone up dramatically.
There are other reasons other than saving money
that you may want to remortgage, you may be thinking of moving
house to a more expensive property, so you may need to borrow
more money. The large rise in property prices over the last ten
years means that many people's houses have gone up dramatically
in value and they may wish to capitalise on this.
Another reason you may want to look at remortgaging
is to make extra payments to reduce your mortgage term, for example
if you have had a large pay raise or have inherited some money.
However remortgaging is not for everyone if you
are on a great mortgage deal you may not need to move, or if
you may incure large penalties it will not be worth moving.
Another reason that it may not pay to remortgage is when your
mortgage
falls below around £30,000 because the cost of moving may be
outweigh buy the costs involved.
