Simply put, a remortgage is when you already own a property and are looking to refinance which could be for one of several reasons as set out below:
In most cases, at the end of a deal, mortgages will revert to the lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR) which is often much higher. This increase in cost can be mitigated by ensuring a follow-on product is arranged.
This may allow for cost-effective home improvements, further boosting property value. It is not restricted to remortgage stage as both Further Advances (current lender) and Second Charges (alternative lenders) are possible during a current deal.
As property value increases (and the capital is downpaid), LTV will likely drop and may go into a lower category which tends to lead to lower mortgage rates. Remortgage stage is perfect to capture this change.
This is where additional borrowing is sought to pay off credit commitments in the background. Whilst it does simplify background loans into one payment, there is additional risk by securing the debt which will be discussed at the mortgage meeting.
