Life after your Fixed Rate mortgage. What happens when your mortgage deal expires?

If the end of your fixed rate mortgage is on the horizon (even if it’s months away), then it’s a good idea to start looking at your options today.

 

If you haven’t got a new deal in place when your fixed rate mortgage ends, your lender will put you onto their standard variable rate, which tends to be higher than the rates on most other mortgage options. So it pays to get the right mortgage for you in place.

 

When it comes to remortgaging, some people prefer to search the market themselves. This could be time consuming, and the right deals for you might not be that easy to find. Others leave it to the last minute (or even worse forget about it altogether) which can leave them paying more than they need to.

 

But did you know there’s another way?

 

By seeking advice from a mortgage adviser now, you could get the right deal for you sooner.

 

We can search an extensive panel of lenders for you, finding deals and options that you may not have even considered. And by planning your next remortgage steps today, you’ll cut down on the risk of missing your mortgage expiry date.

 

No one wants to pay more than they need to, so it helps to plan ahead with the support of an expert.

 

We can expertly find the right mortgage for you – whatever your circumstances.

 

It’s a myth that you have to wait until your current mortgage plan expires before you can remortgage. In fact, most lenders will allow us to secure a new fixed rate for you months in advance. Plus you can often change your mind after you’ve secured the mortgage, before you renew.

There are plenty of mortgages out there to consider. A green mortgage may work for you if you have a more energy-efficient home, or a long-term mortgage may help if you’re looking to reduce your monthly payments. We will consider your overall financial situation and needs in depth to help find the right fit for you.

We know new doesn’t always mean better and it may make more sense to stay with your current lender. If your current lender is the right option for you, we will tell you.

What if you’re not in the same boat as before?

Everyone’s circumstances change over time! Don’t worry if you’ve had a credit blip, you’re earning less or your property has dropped in value, because that doesn’t mean you’re automatically stuck for choice. Your options are out there, and with an experienced adviser at your side, you’ll be able to find them.
