Remortgaging is the process of searching for a better mortgage deal, either with your current lender or a new provider.
This article does not constitute advice. Professional advice should be taken prior to acting on any part of it. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
Why remortgage?
There are a variety of reasons you might want to remortgage. You could simply just want a better rate than you currently have.
Or perhaps your fixed rate loan is reaching the end of the initial term period and you’d like to avoid the possibility of getting stuck with a much higher standard variable rate.
Needing more flexibility both when you are borrowing and during repayment might also be pushing you towards remortgaging.
The recent announcement of the base rate hike has sparked a flurry of activity in the mortgage, and consequently remortgaging, sector.
According to UK Finance, after the last rate increase in November 2017, the market enjoyed an 11% boost. The new hike, and the unpredictable effect it will have on the economy overall, will undoubtedly cause a similar stir.

Barclays have an offer that could be too good to miss!
One of the banks that consistently delivers “a competitive and comprehensive range of fee and no fee Fixed, Tracker, Offset (including Lifetime Offset), Great Escape and Buy to Let mortgage products” is Barclays.
One of Barclays’ product features that might interest you is called “Switch and Fix.” This feature allows you to switch to a fixed rate during the ERC period and rather than follow a standard variable rate for the remaining term, all of their remortgaging products follow on to Lifetime trackers.
You can also remortgage a Help to Buy Equity Mortgage and benefit from a free non-disclosed valuation. With certain products, you’ll gain access to in-house solicitors or other perks like cashback, as the Switch and Save package provides.
Of course, Barclays are not the only lender providing perks for borrowers. There are a wide range of other mortgage products on the market, which is why bespoke mortgage advice is imperative to ensure you make the right choice for your unique circumstances.
