What is the right remortgage? It depends on your own financial circumstances and what you plan to achieve through the process of remortgaging. As with all financial products, it is always worth reviewing your mortgage.
There are almost certainly mortgage products available that have a lower interest rate than you are currently paying. The FSN will make ensure that the right people give the right advice to you.
There are a number of things that can be achieved by a remortgage - you could reduce your monthly payments, borrow more / release equity that has built up in your property, consolidate your debts into one smaller payment, or move from a variable-rate deal to a fixed rate making it easier to manage your budget.
Here at the Financial Support Network, we know that around 770,000 households are believed to have missed one or more mortgage payments in 2006-07.
The Council for Mortgage Lenders also notes that in June 2007 over 35,000 mortgages were in arrears, the highest number for five years. You are not alone, we understand this, and we are here to help.
| Remember: |
 |
 |
You may have redemption penalties that mean you would be subject to an early repayment charge if you pay the mortgage in full |
 |
'Better deals' have to be based on a full understanding of your circumstances |
 |
Remortgaging may have its own costs associated with it |
 |
In most cases, arranging a remortgage will be fairly straightforward and will take much the same form as arranging your first home loan |
 |
There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all for a remortgage |
