2 - Remortgages
Remortgaging simply means arranging a new mortgage on a property you already own. Many mortgage deals have an initial fixed or tracker rate that eventually reverts to a higher variable rate. This can often be the driving factor behind remortgaging, as it allows you to secure a new deal and keep your payments affordable. Remortgaging can also be an ideal opportunity to make adjustments to your mortgage arrangements, such as:
Raising funds
For home improvements, purchasing another property, or buying a car
Replacing your interest rate
If you’re approaching the end of your current deal
Consolidating debts
To reduce the financial burden of multiple payments each month
Adding or removing a party
From the mortgage
Changing your mortgage term
To better align with your budget and keep payments manageable
Whether you’re looking to reduce costs or make changes to your financial situation, remortgaging offers flexible solutions to suit your needs.
3 - Buy to let and commercial mortgage advice
Investing in a rental property has become an attractive option for many, offering potential for long-term gains. Whether you’re a first-time landlord, a portfolio property owner, or someone looking to rent out a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), there’s likely a mortgage product that suits your needs. However, finding the perfect deal can be a challenge, which is why getting the right advice is as important as finding the best property.
It’s worth noting that interest rates, fees, and lending criteria for Buy to Let mortgages differ from standard residential mortgages. Lenders typically assess your eligibility based on factors such as your personal circumstances and the expected rental income generated by the property, which is often influenced by the local market rate.
For those with a Buy to Let mortgage where the initial fixed or tracker rate has ended, remortgaging could lead to significant savings in monthly payments. This can be done through a rate switch with your current lender or by remortgaging with a new one.
