According to data, there was a large number of homeowners that mortgaged two years ago and were due to have their mortgage term end this year in October. Awaiting that opportunity to gain new borrowers, remortgage lenders began putting out more remortgage products and with lower interest prices. However, not all of those homeowners have taken advantage of the opportunity to gain a low interest price with a remortgage. That means they could be paying more than necessary.

If a homeowner from October, or any homeowner that has had their mortgage deal end, has chosen not to get a remortgage they will have been moved to the lenders standard variable rate (SVR). According to reports, in a comparison of the two year fixed rate remortgages and current SVRs, homeowners may be paying double or more the interest rate they would be used to paying.

Experts encourage homeowners to shop around online when considering a remortgage. Even those that have yet to have their mortgage deal end are encouraged to shop. Knowing what remortgages are available offers a homeowner the important information in which to use to make a good choice on a remortgage. Shopping online is an easy and quick way to shop for a remortgage and have quotes in which to compare.

Great advice for homeowners is when considering one remortgage over another make sure to know the overall savings and not just that an interest rate is lower than another.

The lowest interest rate remortgage often has higher fees than those with slightly higher interest rates. By considering the entire savings including the fees, a homeowner is able to realize the real and true savings of one remortgage over another.

With the expectation of continued low interest rates throughout the rest of the year, homeowners wanting to discover a savings might want to start seeking a remortgage. After all, no one wants to pay more than they have to if a remortgage could offer them substantial savings for years to come.
