When you remortgage you are simply taking out a new mortgage on a property you already own – either to replace your existing mortgage, or to borrow money against your current property.
You can remortgage by taking out a new deal with your existing lender or move to a new mortgage with a different lender. If you are not looking to get a new deal, you can remortgage to release equity in your home and receive cash.

The majority of borrowers remortgage at the end of a deal term. This is to avoid moving onto higher standard variable rate (SVR). The SVR from a lender is often much higher, sometimes double the amount of the fixed rate.
It’s important to start preparing for a new mortgage a few months before your current deal expires. We recommend planning for a remortgage 3-6 months prior to the end of your fixed rate mortgage end date.
In some cases, you can switch your mortgage earlier; however, fees may apply. Speak to a mortgage broker, and they can advise you on whether it’s worth changing your mortgage early or not, and tell you how much you can save.
This really depends on whether you’re staying with the same lender or changing. If you are staying with the same lender four to six weeks is typical, for a new lender eight to twelve weeks is more likely.
Friends Capital Tip: “To avoid delays, start looking for a new mortgage in advance – two to three months before your deal expires is ideal.”
While many lenders will not be forthcoming with offers for remortgaging with bad credit, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get the loan you need. Bad credit is an issue for banks because bad credit makes you:
Although bad credit does make banks cautious, some financial institutions are willing to look past this. Bad credit history doesn’t always mean you can’t handle remortgage payments. Some lenders are able to consider these problems and still offer remortgaging services.
