Congratulations if you are a homeowner that is considering a remortgage. It could possibly be the best time of the year to be shopping for a remortgage deal. Lenders are competitive and to gain the attention of borrowers, they are putting out interesting remortgage products and some are historically low. To make the most of the opportunity to save money, it could possibly mean that homeowners need to put loyalty aside and shop with many lenders before making a decision.

The low interest rates being offered by lenders are pulling in homeowners to remortgage. According to the latest data released by UK Finance, in October 37,769 homeowners remortgaged, which is 12.7% more than October of last year. In the month to month comparison, there was a 10.6% increase over the 34,157 that remortgaged in September. The value of remortgage approvals increased by 17.8% compared to October 2018 at a total of £7.3 billion.

Homeowners have shown continued strong demand for remortgaging over the past months. The last quarter of the year could prove to be one of the strongest of 2019 as there were a large number of homeowners expected to have their mortgage term end in October and November. The data for the final months of the year will not be available for a while, but experts are optimistic that there could be a large number of remortgage borrowers due to the current opportunities available to save money.

In the last quarter of the year, particularly in the month of October, a large number of homeowners were due to have their mortgage term end. For those homeowners, the choices were to either remortgage or allow their lender to move their mortgage loan to the lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). While SVR interest rates are considered risky for the homeowner that doesn’t have a budget that can easily fluctuate for interest rate changes, in years past the SVR was low enough to make it somewhat attractive and an easy option for homeowners. However, all that has changed.

Should you buy now or wait it out is the question for most hopeful home buyers. Brexit has taken its toll and caution has seeped into the veins of even the most optimistic consumers and borrowers. Yet, in this unchartered territory for the economy there exists opportunity for a home buyer to not only purchase at a time when asking prices are low and interest rates are for some lenders at historic lows, but when house prices are expected to bounce upward in only a very few years.

Homeowners are busy looking into remortgages. If they aren’t, experts say they should be due to the many opportunities in today’s remortgage lending market. Lenders are competitive because there are so many homeowners that were expected to have their mortgage deal end in the last quarter of the year. To gain the attention of those homeowners, lenders put out remortgage deals that would be sure to be noticed. Therefore, there are some of the very best remortgages to have been seen all year available now.
