If you want to stay on top of your mortgage repayments and ensure you’re getting the right deal for your circumstances then remortgaging is one of the most important financial decisions you can make.
But is it best to change to a new mortgage product with your current lender via a product transfer or look to remortgage with another provider?
The reality is that there are advantages, disadvantages and differences to whichever route you choose to go down, which is why it’s essential to speak an experienced advisor who can guide you through the options available.
What is a remortgage?
A remortgage is when you replace your current mortgage with one from another lender. This is often done when your existing deal has come to an end, and you’re attempting to find a better deal than your current lender can offer.
What is a product transfer?
A product transfer involves switching to a new mortgage deal, often one with a different interest rate, or one fixed for another set period of time, with your current lender.
Should I stay with my existing lender or move to a new one?
When your mortgage comes to an end, it’s always a big decision to work out what your next move should be.
It may be that a product transfer onto a deal with a fixed interest rate for a longer period offers the kind of financial certainty that best suits your needs. Or it could be that remortgaging with a different rate, a different amount and a different term, offers the flexibility you require.
Staying with your current lender may feel like the saftest option when your mortgage comes to an end, but that’s no guarantee that you’ll be getting the right deal. That’s why we recommend shopping around to find a mortgage that’s fits you.
