Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debts secured on it.
When Should You Remortgage?
Most homeowners should start reviewing their mortgage 3 to 6 months before their current deal ends.
If you leave it too late, you may:
- Move onto your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR)
- Pay significantly higher monthly repayments
- Miss out on better deals available elsewhere
Planning ahead gives you time to secure a new deal and avoid unnecessary costs.

- Explain your realistic options

Why Do People Remortgage?
There are several common reasons why homeowners choose to remortgage:
To Get a Better Interest Rate
Switching to a lower rate can reduce your monthly payments and save money over time.
To Fix Your Monthly Payments
A fixed-rate mortgage provides stability and protects you from potential rate increases.
To Release Equity
You may be able to borrow additional funds for:
- Home improvements
- Large purchases
- Supporting family members
To Consolidate Debt
Some homeowners choose to combine unsecured debts into their mortgage. This should always be carefully considered, as it can increase the total amount repaid over time.
Remortgaging When Your Fixed Rate Ends
This is one of the most common situations we see.
Many homeowners:
- Took out a mortgage 2–5 years ago
- Are now approaching the end of their fixed-rate period
- Are unsure what happens next
If no action is taken, your lender will usually move you onto a higher variable rate.
Reviewing your options early can help you secure a better deal and avoid unnecessary increases in your monthly payments.
Can You Remortgage with Bad Credit?
Yes — in many cases, it is still possible to remortgage even if your credit profile has changed since you took out your original mortgage.
We regularly help clients who have experienced:
- Missed or late payments
- Defaults
- County Court Judgements (CCJs)
In these situations, choosing the right lender is essential.
You can also explore our Bad Credit Mortgage Advice to understand your options in more detail.
How Much Can You Borrow When Remortgaging?
When remortgaging, lenders reassess your current financial situation.
They will look at:
- Your income and employment
- Your monthly outgoings
- Your credit history
- The amount of equity in your property
If your property has increased in value or you have reduced your mortgage balance, you may have more options available than when you first bought your home.
The Remortgage Process Explained
Understanding the process helps you stay in control and avoid unnecessary delays.
1. Review Your Current Mortgage
We assess your current deal, remaining term and any early repayment charges.
2. Compare Your Options
We review deals across a wide range of lenders to find suitable options.
3. Submit Your Application
Once you choose a deal, your application is submitted and processed.
4. Completion
Your new mortgage replaces your existing one and your new deal begins.
In many cases, the process can be completed without needing a solicitor, depending on the lender.
Ongoing Mortgage Support and Rate Monitoring
One of the biggest concerns for homeowners is not knowing when to review their mortgage or whether they could be getting a better deal.
At A Little Mortgage Advice, we don’t just help you secure a mortgage — we help you stay on the right deal over time.
We offer ongoing support and rate monitoring, meaning:
- We keep an eye on your mortgage as your deal progresses
- We contact you when it’s the right time to review your options
- We help you avoid moving onto a higher variable rate
- We make sure you are always aware of better deals when they become available
This is particularly important when your fixed rate is coming to an end, as acting at the right time can make a significant difference to your monthly payments.
Our aim is to provide long-term support, not just a one-off service.
Common Questions About Remortgaging
Do I have to stay with my current lender?
No — you can switch to a new lender if a better deal is available.
Will I need a solicitor?
Not always. Many remortgages are completed without one, depending on the lender.
Can I remortgage early?
Yes, but early repayment charges may apply.
What if my circumstances have changed?
You may still have options — it depends on your current situation and lender criteria.
