Remortgage
basics
To
remortgage is simply to obtain a new and better
mortgage deal with a new loan secured on your property.
You can remortgage with your existing lender but
it is more common to remortgage with a new provider
to enjoy a better rate.
Why
remortgage?
• Remortgage to save money
With so many mortgages on offer from so many providers, it pays
to shop around and remortgage to save on monthly
payments.
• Remortgage to pay off your loan earlier
A remortgage may be at a sufficiently lower rate
to enable you to pay off the mortgage more quickly.
• Remortgage to raise money
You may wish to remortgage to raise funds to improve
or extend your home.
• Remortgage to consolidate debts
A remortgage is a cheaper way of paying for credit
than credit cards and other loans so a remortgage can cut your monthly
debt repayments considerably.
