Remortgaging FAQs

Remortgaging means moving your mortgage to a new lender while staying in the same property.

Remortgaging can be an effective way to save money on your monthly mortgage payments. Most people re-mortgage to secure a lower monthly rate of repayment, which usually derives from securing a more competitive interest rate.

Aside from seeking to reduce the rate of monthly repayments home owners may choose to remortgage in order to raise capital by withdrawing equity from the property, or remortgaging may be used as a means of consolidating other more expensive short term debts.

Although your chosen lender will take you through the details relating to your new mortgage it can sometimes be difficult to make a clear comparison with the terms of your existing mortgage terms. In some instances, the monthly saving that you stand to make can be outweighed by the fees that you will be required to pay to your new lender to secure the product. It therefore important that you consider all of the costs.

An arrangement fee is the charge that your new lender will make to secure their product. You may also be charged a further fee by any mortgage broker that you use on account of the cost of their service.

When you take out a mortgage you are usually required to retain it for a minimum period (i.e. 2,3 or 5 years). This minimum fixed term period usually runs for the same period as the headline interest rate. If you want to re-mortgage and move to a new lender before the expiry of your minimum fixed term period, your existing lender may charge you a penalty fee. The penalty fee may be a fixed amount, or a percentage of the overall outstanding balance of your loan. Once your minimum fixed term period has ended you will be free to move to a new lender without incurring an early repayment charge.

This will depend entirely upon the requirements of your new lender however it is normally safe to assume that a valuation will be required.

There is no limit on the number of times that you can re-mortgage however you will need to bear in mind that every time you move to a new product you may be required to arrangement fees, and if you re-mortgage during the minimum fixed term period on your existing product you may incur an early repayment charge.

Yes. When you re-mortgage with your existing lender the process is normally a little more straightforward as you will only be required to agree to the terms of the new product. This should mean that there is no need for you to have a valuation carried out but this is not always the case. Each lender is different and will impose their own requirements.

Normally it is only necessary to instruct a lawyer to act on your behalf when you choose to re-mortgage with a new lender.

I dealt with Michelle in the Conveyancing Dept. To say she is she is fantastic would be a vast understatement! I have worked with numerous solicitors over the years and never with one who was so proactive as opposed to being reactive. It was quite a lengthy chain but we were kept updated throughout and nothing seemed too much trouble. Could not recommend her services enough!

Hazzra was absolutely outstanding – truly an asset to Eric Robinson!

I was amazed at how smoothly and quickly the purchasing process was handled. After a previous bad experience with another firm, where I had to pull out of a purchase due to poor service, I was honestly nervous to start again. But Hazzra completely restored my faith in the conveyancing process. From start to finish, she provided clear and continuous updates, ensuring I understood every step of the transaction. Her professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel effortless. Without a doubt, I will be requesting Hazzra for all future property purchases as well as recommending to friends and family. Thank you once again for your exceptional work – you’ve truly made this experience a pleasure!

Highly recommended for first time buyers

We used Eric Robinson to help with the purchase of our first home. Miya was absolutely brilliant and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Great communication, fast responses and she answered any queries we had. If you’re purchasing a home, definitely consider Eric Robinson – they made the process far less stressful than what I had anticipated for it to have been!
