Frequently Asked Questions
- Start remortgage shopping 6 months before your fix ends — you can lock now and switch if rates fall
- Get a soft-search decision in principle first — it costs nothing and reveals problems early
- Whole-of-market brokers see deals comparison sites don't carry, especially for non-standard income
- Compare total cost over the fixed period — rate plus fees, not headline rate alone
The Details That Decide Outcomes
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. Ask your broker to model both sides of the nearest band: on a £250,000 loan that's thousands over a fix.
Affordability rules changed materially after the 2022–23 rate cycle. Lenders now stress-test your payments at a rate above your actual deal, and your outgoings matter as much as income. Trimming commitments 3 months before applying genuinely increases what you can borrow.
