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.
