Are you paying more for your mortgage than you need to?

Thu 27 May 2021

Many homeowners in the UK are potentially paying thousands of pounds extra on their mortgage each year by not knowing what mortgage rate they’re on. Are you one of them?

If your discounted or fixed rate deal has ended and you haven't remortgaged then you’re likely to be on your lenders Standard Variable Rate (SVR) and could be paying a lot more than you need to.

Make sure you’re on the right deal for you
With the current market conditions, you could take advantage of the low fixed rates on offer by remortgaging now. If you’re on your lenders SVR, or are one of the thousands of borrowers whose fixed and tracker mortgages expire in the coming months, then you could save money by remortgaging to a better deal. It’s worth remembering that if your current deal hasn’t expired, then you might have to pay an early repayment charge, plus a possible exit fee if you remortgage.
