Insider Notes
The remortgage window is a free option too few people use. Most lenders let you secure a new rate up to 6 months before your current deal ends — if rates rise you're protected, and if they fall you can usually re-lock lower before completion.
Nothing moves your rate more than loan-to-value. Lenders price in bands — 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75% — and crossing a band boundary can cut your rate by 0.3–0.6 percentage points. Before applying, check whether a small top-up to your deposit crosses a threshold: on a £200,000 loan that's thousands over a fix.
