Remortgaging Guide

Remortgaging refers to the process of switching your existing mortgage to a new mortgage deal, either with the same lender, or with a completely different one.

The primary reasons for remortgaging include obtaining a better interest rate, accessing additional borrowing, or changing mortgage terms to better suit your financial situation. 

Here are things to consider when remortgaging:

  1. Assessment: As your existing mortgage deal approaches its end, we’ll invariably establish what deals your current lender will offer you to remain with them. We’ll then compare these against the 90+ mortgage lenders out there and determine whether it’s advantageous to switch lenders. This is also a good time to decide if you want to make any material changes to your mortgage, such as raising capital for home improvements, reducing the term of the mortgage etc.
  2. Research and Comparison: It’s essential to research the market and compare different mortgage deals available from various lenders. This involves assessing interest rates, fees, repayment terms, and any additional features or benefits offered by different mortgage providers.
  3. Mortgage Application: Once you’ve identified a suitable mortgage deal, we can apply for a remortgage with the chosen lender. The application process typically involves providing personal and financial information, including proof of income, employment details, and documentation related to your existing mortgage. However, if you remain with your existing lender and keep all aspects of the mortgage the same, the list of paperwork required is significantly reduced as the mortgage is already held with them. 
  4. Valuation and Legal Process: A new lender will likely conduct a valuation of your property to assess its current market value. Additionally, you may need to engage a solicitor or conveyancer who will handle the legal aspects of the remortgage, including property searches and the transfer of the mortgage funds. However, if you remain with your existing lender and keep all aspects of the mortgage the same, you are not likely to need a survey or solicitor. 
  5. Mortgage Offer and Completion: If your application is successful and all necessary checks are completed, the lender will issue a mortgage offer outlining the terms and conditions of the new mortgage deal. Once you review and accept the offer, your solicitor or conveyancer will work with the new lender to finalise the remortgage. The new lender will pay off the existing mortgage, and your mortgage will be switched to the new deal. If you remain with the same lender, we’ll simply confirm the date the new product will commence. 

It’s worth noting that there may be fees involved in the remortgaging process, such as arrangement fees, valuation fees, legal fees, or early repayment charges from your current lender. We will consider these costs and factor them into your decision-making process.

    Having used a number of mortgage advisors in the past, I can say that Thameside were a breath of fresh air. We have an unusual situation and were told we couldn’t get what we needed from other advisors. Thameside were able to arrange a mortgage and kept us updated constantly and were available any time to discuss all the usual issues. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage.

  • The team went above and beyond to help us secure the best possible rate. During what was a difficult time for us, they’ve been so supportive and empathic. Their work is delivered with pedagogy and transparency, for customers to understand relevant details and take informed decisions with confidence. I strongly recommend their mortgage services.

    Mikhaël Mazu Avatar Mikhaël Mazu

    Andrew and Laura provided an exceptional service and my partner and I are extremely grateful for their services. They were both on hand to answer any questions or queries without hesitation and provided clear, concise and accurate information. As first time buyers and with one of us being self employed, it proved extremely difficult for us to get a mortgage (especially in a pandemic), however Laura and Andrew both went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after and for that we are extremely thankful.

  • After the purchase of our property we were in search of a good mortgage broker and our estate agent recommended Andrew. After speaking to Andrew we were confident we had found the right person to entrust finding us something as important as our first mortgage. We provided Andrew with all the necessary details and with his extensive experience and knowledge in this field, he was able to find us a very good mortgage deal. It was a pleasure working with Andrew and he was there to help and support us from the initial stages of the mortgage to the final completion day. When we needed to remortgage, Andrew helped us find another good deal, providing the same care and support as before. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for an experienced and professional yet very approachable and friendly expert broker who will help guide them through the whole mortgage process. Thank you so much Andrew and Lydia for all your help recently.

Not only do I feel that I ended up with a very competitive mortgage, from start to finish the team kept me up to date on the progress of my mortgage application and the conveyancing process. They were always very quick to reply to any questions I had and I credit them with helping me exchanging contracts within just 7 weeks. Andrew, Lydia and Laura, thank you so much for all your help. I can’t thank you enough!

    I've used Andrew from Thameside Mortgages twice now, i'd highly recommend his service. The information provided was very in-depth and easy to understand. My most recent mortgage offer was about to complete, when Andrew called and had found a better rate and saved us more money which was a lovely surprise 🙂 Would use his service again!

  • I genuinely can't thank Andrew and Laura enough for all of their hard graft through a very stressful process! The sleepless nights have been totally worth it!! I couldn't have done this with out your superb guidance. Professional, caring, excellent communication, explations to a solo first time buyer that doesn't always understand the jargon that comes with process. I was told by several people I didn't earn enough, needed a partner, better paid job to get on the property ladder. Andrew took this as a challenge and found me an excellent mortgage deal, twice!! I am so, so happy that I chose them to make this a lot easier. I genuinely can't recommend Thameside Mortgages enough. Forever grateful!

    Lauren Cosgrove Avatar Lauren Cosgrove

    Introduced to Mr Sheen in 2016 and using his services for me and my family since then. When I was looking for the second mortgage, I was unable to find him at his earlier employers, as he had meanwhile started Thameside Mortgages. I spent two days on internet, found him and contacted. I appreciate 7 respect his services, integrity & professionalism.

    Rajen Saraswati Avatar Rajen Saraswati

    Andrew’s experience and knowledge of the market was next to none, which allowed me to get the perfect mortgage deal. Followed by Laura’s communication made the whole process very comfortable. It wasn’t as easy ride with many hiccups from my end but Thameside stuck with me throughout the entire process until I picked up my keys and more. Highly recommend.

    Andrew, Laura and the Thameside team were fantastic and delivered a brilliant result for us. They were able to secure two competitive mortgages for our remortgage and new house purchase. These were secured in a matter of weeks and then Thameside guided us through a tricky exchange and completion process with minimal fuss and stress. Thank you Thameside for a providing a wonderful service and we’ll sure to be back again in the future!
