Remortgaging a Property

There are a variety of reasons why you may be thinking about remortgaging your property, and we’re here to provide expert advice to assist you through the process.

Remortgaging Explained

Remortgaging is literally the process of taking out a new mortgage on a property you own.

Reasons for doing so include:

  • A better interest rate that makes your mortgage cheaper, saving you money

  • Your mortgage rate may be coming to an end

  • Value of your property has risen meaning you’re eligible for lower rates

  • You have the option to overpay on your mortgage making it easier to pay off, for example if you’ve recently inherited a sum of money

  • More flexible terms

  • Fixed rate deal to give you peace of mind.

What does the process involve?

  1. Start looking at your options around three to four months before you’re planning to remortgage; contact a conveyancer for assistance to make the process easier

  2. Find a new mortgage deal that works for you.

  3. Your solicitor will request the title information for your property, as well as a redemption statement for your current mortgage

  4. They will thoroughly go through the formal remortgage offer from your new lender

  5. A completion date will be set for your remortgage

  6. Your new mortgage will be registered with the land registry.
