The Right Remortgage Can Save You Hundreds Every Month

Most homeowners stay with their existing lender out of habit, or because switching feels complicated. It's usually a mistake.

When your fixed deal ends, your lender puts you on their Standard Variable Rate (SVR). SVRs are almost always higher than the best rates available in the open market. The difference can easily be £200–£400 per month on a typical mortgage.

Remortgaging lets you move to a better rate, with a lender who's competing for your business — not relying on your inertia. Beyond the rate, remortgaging can also:

  • Release equity from your property to fund home improvements, clear debts, or cover a major cost
  • Consolidate debts into one lower monthly payment
  • Adjust your term — shorter to pay it off faster, or longer to reduce payments
  • Switch from interest-only to repayment , or vice versa
Our clients save £2,400 on average each year by switching. We handle every step.

What a Good Remortgage Looks Like

A Lower Interest Rate

Even half a percentage point difference matters over a 25-year term. On a £280,000 mortgage, dropping from 5.5% to 4.2% saves around £190 per month — that's £2,280 a year. We show you the exact numbers before you commit to anything.

Equity You Can Actually Use

If your property has gone up in value since you bought it, you may have built up equity you're not tapping into. Remortgaging to release equity means you can access that cash — for a loft conversion, a new kitchen, or to clear high-interest debt — without selling your home.

Terms That Fit Your Life Now

Your circumstances change. Maybe you're earning more and want to pay off faster. Maybe you need to reduce monthly outgoings for a while. A remortgage lets you reset your terms to match where you are now, not where you were when you first bought.

The Whole Market, Not Just the High Street

We're not tied to any lender. We compare rates across the full market, including deals from specialist lenders and exclusive rates you can't get by going direct. That's a significant advantage when rates vary as much as they do right now.

"Home Me helped us remortgage and saved us £280 per month. The process was smooth from start to finish — and we released equity for our home extension at the same time."

Your Remortgage Journey

How It Works — Three Steps, No Stress

Step 01

We Review Your Current Deal (Same Day)

Tell us about your mortgage and we'll run the numbers. We compare your current lender's retention offers against the best rates across 90+ lenders. You get a clear picture of what you could save — and what it costs to switch.

Step 02

We Handle the Application (2–4 Weeks)

Once you pick the deal that works for you, we manage the paperwork, liaise with the lender, and chase progress on your behalf. You don't have to sit on hold to anyone.

Step 03

You Switch and Start Saving (Immediately)

Your new deal completes and your monthly payments drop. If you've released equity, the funds land in your account. Job done.

What Does Remortgaging Actually Cost?

This is the question most people don't ask until it's too late. Here's the honest breakdown.

Cost Typical Range Notes
Arrangement fee £0–£2,000 Many competitive deals include free packages
Valuation fee £0–£300 Often free with remortgage deals
Legal fees £0–£500 Many lenders offer free legal work
Early repayment charge Varies Check your current deal — this is the big one

The bit people forget: Early repayment charges (ERCs). If you're still inside a fixed-rate period, leaving early may cost more than waiting. We'll calculate this for you and tell you exactly whether it's worth switching now or waiting.

Our fee: A mortgage arrangement fee of £499 applies — but only when your mortgage completes. No upfront charges.

A Real-World Remortgage Example

Available equity £170,000
Current rate (SVR) 5.75%
New rate secured 4.20%

This is a real scenario — not a best-case projection. Results vary depending on your balance, term and the deals available at the time.

We Handle More Than the Straightforward Cases

Most mortgage brokers are fine when everything is simple. Things get more interesting when they're not. We deal with:

  • Self-employed borrowers with one or two years' accounts
  • Clients with older adverse credit — defaults, CCJs, missed payments
  • High-value properties where standard lender limits don't apply
  • Portfolio landlords remortgaging buy-to-let properties
  • Complex income structures — bonus-heavy earners, contractors, directors

If you've been turned down elsewhere, or your circumstances are anything other than textbook, talk to us before assuming the answer is no.

Remortgage Questions — Answered Straight

What is remortgaging and when should I consider it? +
Remortgaging means switching your mortgage to a new deal — either with your current lender or a different one. The most common trigger is your fixed rate ending and your lender moving you onto their SVR. You should also consider it if rates have dropped significantly, you want to release equity, or your financial situation has changed since you took out the original mortgage.
How much can I save by remortgaging? +
It depends on the gap between your current rate and what's available, your remaining balance and term, and the costs involved in switching. Our clients save £2,400 on average each year. We'll calculate your exact saving — including factoring in fees — before you commit to anything.
What does remortgaging cost? +
Common costs include arrangement fees (often £0–£2,000), valuation fees (often free), legal fees (often free), and potentially an early repayment charge if you're still in a fixed-rate period. Many lenders offer fee-free remortgage packages. We'll tell you the total cost of switching versus staying put.
Can I remortgage to release equity? +
Yes. If your property is worth more than you originally paid, you may be able to remortgage for a larger amount and take the difference as cash. Common uses are home improvements, debt consolidation, or funding a large purchase. The amount you can release depends on your property value, outstanding balance and your income.
How long does a remortgage take? +
Most remortgages complete in four to eight weeks from application. We recommend starting the process three to four months before your current deal ends — that way you're not left on the SVR for any longer than necessary.
Will I need a new property valuation? +
Usually yes, but most lenders include a free valuation as part of their remortgage package. In some cases they'll use an automated desktop valuation, which can speed things up.
Should I remortgage with my current lender or switch? +
Staying with your current lender (called a product transfer) is faster and involves fewer checks, but it rarely gives you the best rate available in the market. We always compare your lender's retention offers against the wider market. Most of the time, switching saves you more.
What happens when my fixed rate ends? +
Your lender moves you onto their Standard Variable Rate — which is almost always significantly higher than fixed rates. This is the most expensive thing you can do by accident. Get the remortgage process started three to four months before your deal ends and you can lock in a new rate before the SVR kicks in.
What if my circumstances have changed since I first took out my mortgage? +
Changed income, new dependants, a period of adverse credit, or becoming self-employed can all affect your options — but they don't necessarily block you from remortgaging. We have access to lenders who deal with complex situations day in, day out. Tell us what's changed and we'll tell you what's possible.
