Remortgaging is a good option when your current deal is ending or if your property has increased in value.
Yes, you need a solicitor to manage the legal side of remortgaging, but our switch and save feature covers the legal costs with internal solicitor services to help you through the process.
Yes. If you remortgage with us, you can borrow up to 80% of your property’s value, covering key costs like surveys and legal fees. It’s a good idea to get independent financial advice before doing this.
Releasing equity is a way of turning some of your property’s value into cash. If you choose to remortgage, you can release equity by borrowing more than your current mortgage balance.
Yes, but your options might be limited. To see if you’re eligible, complete an Agreement in Principle (AIP). If you’re not eligible, we might be able to help through Kensington Mortgages, which offers tailored solutions for customers with credit challenges.
