Your fixed rate's ending. Start now.

Six months before your fix ends is when the work starts — not the week before. Time enough to shop the market properly, check what your current lender's offering, and lock something in before your rate jumps onto whatever the bank fancies charging you on standard variable..

Remortgaging is what you do when your fixed rate ends — either you move to a new deal or your lender rolls you onto their standard variable rate. Most mortgage offers are valid for 3-6 months, so the work starts about six months before your fix ends. Doing nothing means rolling onto SVR, which usually costs hundreds more a month than any of your other options.

First things first.

Three things to know before your deal ends

Start six months out

Mortgage offers are usually valid for three to six months. Starting that far ahead of your fix ending means you can lock in a rate properly, without racing the clock or settling for whatever's left when you panic.

Same lender or remortgage

 Staying with your current lender on a new rate is quick — no valuation, no legal work. Going to a new lender means shopping the open market, more effort, but often gets you a better deal with a bit more work (for us).

SVR isn't always a trap

 Doing nothing means rolling onto your lender's standard variable rate. Usually a more expensive option, but it can make sense in the short term — for example if you're selling soon and don't want to be tied into a new fix.

What you get with us

The full job, properly done — and a few things you might not have thought about.

What we sort for you

We compare what your current lender's offering against the open market, work out which one actually saves you money, and recommend the route that makes most sense for you.

Things worth thinking about

Remortgaging is a good moment to think bigger — borrowing more for renovations, changing the term, paying off some debts or releasing equity. We'll walk you through what's actually possible.

Full review, if you need it

Every time your deal's up we don't just sort the new rate — we check the rest of it too. Life cover still right for the mortgage, income protection still in place, will still up to date.

Common questions

Clear answers to the questions people often ask before getting started.

  • Six months. Mortgage offers lock in for 3–6 months so you can secure a rate well ahead of the fix ending and switch the moment it does.

  • Our broker fee is £199 for remortgages. Valuation sometimes free (lender-led). Legal fees £300–500 but often covered by the enw lender. Product transfers usually no fee. We consider the total cost before making a recommendation.

  • Yes — called 'capital raising'. Lenders re-check affordability and the new loan-to-value. People use it for home improvements, debt consolidation, buying out an ex-partner, or a BTL deposit.

  • Payment's going up, nothing to do about the market. The question is: minimise the increase. Product transfer's fastest. Shopping the market might find lower rates. A shorter fix (2 years) could work if you think rates will fall.

  • Income down? Self-employed now? New debts? Affordability will be re-tested. Product transfer with your existing lender usually skips the affordability check. Remortgage to a new lender doesn't.

  • SVR. 2–4% above the best deals. Most people sort it within months of rolling over once the first bill lands, but they've already overpaid. Get ahead of it.

Sort it before the rate change lands.
