The re-mortgage minefield the common pitfalls we recognise and how we can help you to avoid them



Owning your own home is something most all of us strive to accomplish, and it really does feel like a huge accomplishment once we close on the house and move in as there are a huge amount of struggles and uncertainty that goes along with it. Yet even once you've found finally moved in, the headaches are still not over.
 
While your lender may have given you a great introductory rate on your mortgage, this rate is usually only good for a period of years. After this time the interest rate generally rises to the lender's standard variable or fixed rate, which is often a great deal higher than the introductory rate. This is the reason that many homeowners eventually look into the idea of a remortgage, as often it is possible to find a substantially better interest rate than what you are currently paying.
 
That being said, a remortgage is definitely not the best choice for everyone, as in many cases the additional costs and fees associated with it will not outweigh the interest savings you'll get by refinancing. Still, this can often be quite hard to determine, especially considering that there are so many different lenders out there, each of whom is likely to offer a wide variety of mortgage options. 
 
Simply put, remortgaging a home is a huge decision and one that should not be taken lightly. There are many different factors that can determine whether or not it is the right decision given your current situation, but the problem is that most of us simply don't have enough knowledge, information or experience to determine this on our own. This is why most experts recommend that you seek out sound re-mortgage advice in order to determine if it makes sense for you. After all, you most likely sought out mortgage advice when you bought the home, so why wouldn't you do the same thing now that you're considering trying to find a better interest rate. 
 
In truth, remortgaging your home could end up saving you tens of thousands of pounds in interest over the course of the mortgage. On the other hand, it could also end up costing you quite a large chunk of money due to the variety of hidden costs and legal fees associated with it.
