Remortgaging to a Better Deal

Remortgaging means switching your existing mortgage to a new deal — either with your current lender or a new one. It's one of the most effective ways to save money.

Why Should You Remortgage?

Get a Better Rate

Your current deal may have ended and you could be sitting on your lender's standard variable rate (SVR), which is often much higher. Remortgaging can significantly reduce your monthly payments.

Release Equity

If your home has increased in value, you may be able to release some of that equity to fund home improvements, pay off debts, or other large expenses.

Switch Deal Type

You may want to move from a variable rate to a fixed rate for payment certainty, or vice versa depending on your circumstances.

Change Your Term

Remortgaging gives you the opportunity to shorten or extend your mortgage term to better suit your current financial situation.

When is the Right Time?

The best time to start looking at remortgage options is 3–6 months before your current deal expires. This gives you time to compare deals, complete an application, and avoid falling onto the SVR.

Even if you're mid-deal, it's worth reviewing your options — sometimes the savings outweigh any early repayment charge.

How the Process Works

01

Review Your Current Deal

Check when your current deal ends and if there are any early repayment charges (ERCs).

02

Get Independent Advice

A whole-of-market broker like Andreas Mortgages will compare hundreds of deals to find the right one for you.

03

Application & Valuation

Once you choose a deal, we submit your application. The new lender will carry out a valuation of your property.

04

Completion

Your new lender pays off your old mortgage and your new deal begins — often with lower monthly repayments.

What Lenders Will Look At

  • Your current mortgage balance and property value (LTV)
  • Your income and affordability
  • Your credit history
  • Any early repayment charges on your current deal
  • The remaining term of your mortgage
