Remortgaging Q & As
Can I remortgage more than once?
Yes, but you need to consider the fees and charges and calculate whether it’s worthwhile.
Will remortgaging affect my credit rating?
Each application you make for any type of credit reflects on your file. The more applications you make, especially if they are unsuccessful, the less likely it is that your next one will be accepted. All lenders will tell you if and when they check your credit rating.
What information is needed if I'm self-employed?
Most lenders will require you to give them up to three years of audited accounts and proof of income. If you cannot provide these, the lender will want to know why. If you are newly self-employed, consider using a specialist broker, as it may be difficult to get a deal, particularly at the rate you want.
My mortgage loan amount is very low. Is remortgaging still worthwhile?
You will need to weigh up the costs (charges and fees) against the savings you will make in reduced payments, over the term of your loan. If you only have a small mortgage, you may be better off sticking with your current lender.
Can I remortgage to free up money for home improvements?
If you’re able to borrow extra money to remortgage, you can use this as a way to fund home improvements. These can add value to your home.
When I remortgage, can I change to a repayment (capital-and- interest) mortgage?
Since you are starting a completely new mortgage, you can change to a repayment plan. This may be an excellent time to reassess your financial situation and opt for a repayment mortgage.
Some lenders may allow you to split your mortgage, so part is on an interest-only basis and part is on a repayment (capital-and-interest) basis.
What if the value of my home has changed?
If your home has increased in value during the period of your mortgage, you may be able to borrow more by releasing equity from your property. You could use this to make home improvements, make a large purchase, or consolidate debt, for example.
Remember, though, that the best remortgage deals are usually those with the lowest loan-to-value ratio, so bear this in mind if you’re considering borrowing a higher percentage of your property’s current value.
