The remortgage sector of the UK housing market is on fire currently as June posted impressive figures. Not only did straight line remortgage fare particularly well in comparison to other types of mortgage lending, other types of remortgage showed up quite impressively as well. During the month of June, overall remortgage accounted for more than 32% of all mortgage lending, according to released data.

Economic uncertainty is creating quite challenging times for many who are looking to save money regarding their home mortgage lending situation. Interest rates are currently low, but for how long? Wage growth is struggling to continue a move toward progress, and their looms a political question mark which is causing shoulders to shrug daily. What is happening tomorrow and is this the best time to consider a remortgage?

Remortgage made up more than a third of all mortgage lending during the month of April just a few months ago. From the end of summer of last year, remortgage has been a rising star in the mortgage lending world and many families have taken advantage of it. It is no longer the unpopular lending tool which only sits in the corner never being called upon. It is a serious player now and one which is changing the financial fate of many families.

Interest rates are currently driving the interest in remortgage for many house owners and the likelihood that the rates could stay at this low level just got better. June figures for inflation made a slight correction and now sit at 2.6%. Inflation did sit at a four-year high rate of 2.9%. This reduction in inflation will alleviate pressure on the Monetary Policy Committee to raise interest rates in the next meeting. Some housing experts see this as a bright spot in the war on uncertainty which presently resides in the minds of many housing analysts.

House price growth has slowed, yet prices overall remain on a steady, consistent trajectory upward, according to the latest data released by ONS. For most of the last five years, London property prices have been in stellar mode, growing at a pace few salaries could keep up with. Now, areas around the capital city are seeing prices grow, albeit slowly, and surprising many housing experts in the process. There is a great amount of political and economic uncertainty which could be the predominant cause of the shift.

The purchase of second homes either here at home or abroad has become a common practice of many. Thoughts of spending great amounts of time in another country can be greatly enhanced when owning a property there. A second home has the potential to be an income producer or simply another location to call home. The biggest challenge many face with a second home is how to fund the purchase. A possible answer to this dilemma is home remortgage.
