- Get a soft-search decision in principle before house-hunting — it costs nothing and reveals problems early
- Loan-to-value bands (95/90/85/80/75%) drive pricing — check the nearest band boundary
- Start remortgage shopping up to 6 months before your fix ends — you can lock now and switch if rates fall
- Whole-of-market brokers see deals comparison sites don't carry, especially for non-standard income
What the Comparison Sites Won't Tell You
Nothing moves your rate more than loan-to-value. Lenders price in bands — 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75% — and even £1,000 more deposit can drop you into a cheaper band. Ask your broker to model both sides of the nearest band: on a £200,000 loan that's £2,000–£5,000 over a fix.
Product fees deserve as much attention as rates. A £999 arrangement fee on a lower rate only pays off above a certain loan size — roughly £150,000+ for typical gaps. Below that, fee-free wins despite the higher headline rate.
Post-2023 affordability testing is stricter than many buyers expect. Lenders now stress-test your payments at a notional higher rate, and your outgoings matter as much as income. Trimming commitments 3 months before applying genuinely increases what you can borrow.
