Remortgaging means switching your existing mortgage to a new deal — with your current lender or a different one — using the same property as security. You don't move home; you simply move your mortgage. A remortgage adviser reviews your current deal, searches the market, and recommends the right product for your circumstances. Most applications take 4–6 weeks from submission to completion.
The ideal time to start is 3–6 months before your current fixed or tracker rate expires. This gives you enough time to secure a new deal that begins the moment your existing one ends, avoiding a slide onto your lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR) — which is typically much higher. Starting early means no early repayment charges and the widest choice of competitive deals.
Typical costs include lender arrangement fees (£0–£2,000, often addable to the mortgage), valuation fees, and conveyancing fees. Many lenders include free valuations and free legal work as part of their remortgage package. Early repayment charges may apply if you exit your current deal before it expires. Our remortgage advice is completely fee-free — you pay us nothing. For free, impartial guidance on all costs involved, visit MoneyHelper.
Yes — a poor credit history does not prevent you from remortgaging, though your options will depend on the nature and recency of the issue. Specialist lenders outside the high street regularly work with applicants who have missed payments, defaults, or CCJs. Our advisers search an extensive panel of lenders to find the most suitable deal for your situation, without making unnecessary footprints on your credit file. We recommend checking your full credit report before applying.
