How to find the best remortgage rates
It's a good idea to look at the latest remortgage rates carefully before you decide to switch mortgages.
Our broker partner, Mojo Mortgages, can help you assess the remortgage options available to your carefully, and find your best remortgage deal, once you're ready to lock in a new rate. However, keep in mind that the best deal available to you won't always be the cheapest on the market.
How to get the cheapest remortgage rates available
When remortgaging, the rates available to you are very much based on your current circumstances. This comes down to:
Your current LTV - the lower it is, typically the lower the rate available
Your purpose for the remortgage - usually the lowest remortgage rates are available to those switching deals. If you're remortgaging to release equity (borrow more) then both your LTV and the risk in lending are increased
Your current financial circumstances - If your affordability has increased due to a higher income then this will also help reduce the risk of lending to you
Current credit score - If your credit rating has improved since you took out your mortgage, you'll usually be able to get lower rates than if it had declined
Keep in mind that lenders will look at these elements in unison, and each assess them differently, so to ensure you're getting the best deal available to you, it's best to speak to a broker.
What affects remortgage rates?
Much like when you took out your original mortgage, having the lowest loan to value (LTV) will typically give you access to the best remortgage rates. When it comes to remortgaging, your LTV is determined by your equity.
Equity is the difference between the current value of your home and how much you owe on your mortgage, so is determined both by the amount you've repaid and whether your property has increased or reduced in value.
As well as your LTV, lenders also assess your overall circumstances when considering the remortgage deals you qualify for. This includes your credit history, affordability of the new mortgage repayments and the purpose of your remortgage. You'll usually pay a higher rate on your remortgage if you're borrowing more versus purely switching to a new deal.
Why are remortgage rates higher?
Remortgage rates are not necessarily higher than purchase mortgage rates. For many people who took out their mortgage when interest rates were lower generally, it will feel like remortgage rates are much higher.
However, this is due to changes in the market. If interest-rates are lower across the market when you remortgage than when you buy your property, your remortgage rates would likely be cheaper.
Do you get a better rate when you remortgage?
Even in a high interest-rate environment, it's still possible to remortgage onto a lower rate than you're currently on.
This is because lenders base mortgage rates on LTV, and customers who have been repaying their mortgage for a number of years will typically have reduced the LTV of their borrowing. Although this can vary depending on property value and the interest rates you've been paying since your purchase.
Remortgage customers are often able to get better rates than would be available on the equivalent purchase mortgage loan, due to having greater equity than the average first-time buyer.
This is because a first-time buyer's LTV is purely based on their initial deposit, whereas a remortgage customer's LTV is based on their initial deposit as well as how much they have repaid to date, and any potential increase in property value.
