- Compare total cost over the fixed period — rate plus fees, not headline rate alone
- Start remortgage shopping 6 months before your fix ends — you can lock now and switch if rates fall
- Loan-to-value bands (95/90/85/80/75%) drive pricing — check the nearest band boundary
- Get a soft-search decision in principle before house-hunting — it costs nothing and reveals problems early
What the Comparison Sites Won't Tell You
New-build purchases carry extra moving parts: developer deadlines (often 28 days to exchange), incentives that lenders may deduct from the valuation, and the need for extended offer validity. Tell your broker it's new-build on day one.
Timing your remortgage matters more than most borrowers realise. Most lenders let you lock a deal half a year ahead — if rates rise you're protected, and many lenders let you switch to a cheaper deal before it starts.
Watch the fee, not just the rate. A £999 arrangement fee on a lower rate only pays off above a certain loan size — roughly £130,000+ for typical gaps. Run both totals over the fixed period before deciding.
