Why Would I Remortgage My Buy To Let?

It’s very common to remortgage a  buy to let property. You may want to remortgage for the following reason: 

• Switching from a Residential to a Buy to Let Property – You may want to rent out your property as you have moved out of the property. You can switch your residential mortgage to a buy to let mortgage.
• Redevelop Your Rental Property – You can remortgage a property in order to redecorate, redevelop or add an extension in order to add value to the property (and increase the rent!)
• Make a Large Purchase – You can release equity in your property and receive cash for large purchases, such as a wedding, holiday or a new kitchen in the home you live in.
• Buy New Property – You can extend your portfolio of rental houses, or buy a new residential home, by remortgaging a buy to let and using the money to invest.
• Consolidate Debt – Mortgage rates can be much lower than unsecured loan rates. You can consolidate all your loans and credit cards into one single monthly payment.
• Switch to a Better Deal – When your fixed rate buy to let mortgage term is up, you will move onto your lenders variable rates. This can double the monthly payments you make. You can renegotiate a better deal with your lender, or find a new deal.
• Switch from Interest-Only to a Repayment Mortgage
• Move to a More Flexible Mortgage

When Can I Remortgage?

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.

How Long Does it Take to Remortgage?

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.
