Remortgage advice before your fixed rate ends

    When your fixed or tracker deal ends, most lenders move you onto their standard variable rate, which is usually much higher. Planning ahead can save you a lot of money.

    When to start looking

    Many lenders let you secure a new deal up to six months before your current one ends. Read when should I remortgage for the full timeline.

    What we compare for you

    • A product transfer with your current lender against deals from other lenders
    • Product fees, early repayment charges and the true total cost, not just the headline rate
    • Whether a 2-year or 5-year fix or a tracker suits your plans
    • Whether your home's value has moved you into a better LTV band

    Expert tip: If your property has gone up in value, you may now qualify for a lower LTV band and cheaper rates without paying anything off.

    Common questions

    Can I remortgage to borrow more?

    Often, yes, for things like home improvements, subject to affordability and the lender's criteria.

    Will I pay an early repayment charge?

    Usually only if you leave before your current deal ends. We'll check your timings so you avoid charges where possible.
