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 many lenders let you switch to a cheaper deal before it starts.
New-build purchases carry extra moving parts: developer deadlines (typically a 28-day exchange requirement), incentives that lenders may deduct from the valuation, and longer mortgage-offer validity requirements. Tell your broker it's new-build on day one.
Decision in principle first, property search second. It's a soft-search estimate of your borrowing power that strengthens any offer you make, and it surfaces problems months before they can derail a purchase.
