What is remortgaging and why does it matter?

Remortgaging is the process of switching from your current mortgage to a new one, either with your existing lender or a new provider. You don’t need to be moving home to remortgage.

Most people remortgage for one of three reasons:

  • Their current mortgage deal is ending
  • They want a better interest rate or lower monthly payments
  • They want to borrow more money (e.g. for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other large expenses)
What is remortgaging and why does it matter?

Is remortgaging right for you?

We typically recommend looking at your remortgage options around 4 months before your current deal ends. Acting early gives you more time to secure a competitive rate and avoids getting moved to your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), which is usually more expensive.

Your circumstances have changed, and your current deal no longer fits

What are the benefits of remortgaging?

When done right, remortgaging can offer:

Your existing mortgage provider will often offer you a quick internal switch, but staying put means missing out on cheaper deals across the rest of the market. Navigating these options requires an unbiased look at hidden switching fees versus long-term interest savings. To find out whether a market switch is right for you, you can request an independent remortgage review with our Coventry team.

Common questions about remortgaging

When should I remortgage?

We recommend starting the process about 4–6 months before your current deal ends to avoid moving onto a more expensive SVR.

What happens to my old mortgage?

Your new lender will pay off the old mortgage, the switch is managed for you, and you won’t be making double payments.

How long does it take?

On average, about 2–3 weeks to receive a mortgage offer, and we’ll manage the entire process.

Are there fees involved when switching to a new mortgage lender?

While switching lenders can involve legal, valuation, and arrangement fees, many lenders offer "fee-free" remortgage packages that cover these standard setup costs to entice your business. At Jigsaw Independent Mortgage Specialists Ltd, we calculate whether paying a small fee for a drastically lower interest rate saves you more money overall. 

How early can I arrange a remortgage in Coventry?

You can secure a new remortgage rate up to 6 months before your current fixed-rate deal ends. This allows you to protect yourself against rising rates while avoiding any Early Repayment Charges (ERCs) from your current lender.

Can I remortgage to release equity for home renovations?

Yes. If your property's value has increased or you have paid down a significant portion of your loan, you can remortgage to raise extra capital. Niche lenders across the West Midlands have highly flexible criteria for equity release, provided affordability checks are met.
