However, when you’re remortgaging your home, you should look closely at the repayment terms and conditions. Entering into a new agreement might seem appealing at first glance, but you should take some time to find out if it offers value in the long term.
If you’re applying for a new mortgage through your current advisor, you won't usually be required to provide any new information about your financial circumstances.
If you choose a new provider, you’ll need to re-apply for the mortgage and provide your financial details, just as you did when you first applied for a mortgage. You'll undergo credit and income checks which you will need to pass before your new mortgage application is approved.
You'll need to consider:
- Whether to stick with your current provider or find a new one
- The repayment terms and conditions of your new mortgage
- Weighing up the pros and cons of comparative offers.
If you're remortgaging through a new provider, you’ll also need to demonstrate that you have:
- Kept up with previous mortgage payments
- A good credit rating.
