Homeowners are not nearly as focused on remortgaging as experts deem necessary. In recent reports, it was pointed out that those homeowners who obtained their mortgage two years ago and are about to have their current deal end are facing interest rates on lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) doubled than what they are currently paying. That means a doubled interest rate. That means a repayment that is much more expensive, and it means homeowners without a remortgage could be paying much more than needed.

There are many homeowners that are choosing to let their mortgage end and allow their lenders to move them to the lender’s SVR. For some, it will be such a shock to their home budget that it could put them in a weak financial situation while they rush to secure a remortgage.

It would be better to shop around early according to experts.

Shopping online and gathering information empowers a homeowner to make the right decision at the right time and without pressure to hurry along the process in a rush to remortgage.

By taking the opportunity to review options the best remortgage could be more easily found among the many products being offered by lenders.

Homeowners are offered these suggestions:

Consider working with a remortgage broker to gain access to remortgage deals not offered directly to the public.

Don’t only focus on the lowest interest rates as one slightly higher with incentives could be the better deal with greater overall savings to be found than the remortgage with the lowest rate.
