Remortgage

Switching your mortgage to a different lender at end of fix.

Full definition

Moving your mortgage from your existing lender to a new lender, usually at the end of your current fixed period. Provides access to whole-of-market rates. Requires full application, valuation, and legal work. See the Remortgage guide.

How this affects you

Whether remortgage is relevant to your mortgage depends on your circumstances — lender, product, deposit, employment, credit profile, and stage of application. An FCA-authorised mortgage broker will tell you exactly where it applies to your case.
