What does it mean when you remortgage? Remortgaging is when you apply to move from your current mortgage lender to a new one. The word is sometimes confused with switching to a new type of mortgage or a different interest rate with your current mortgage lender.
What are the benefits of remortgaging? Moving to a new lender means you could get a different mortgage type or interest rate for your current home or a home you plan to move to. Some people remortgage to borrow more money for home improvements or a big purchase. You might be able to get a lower rate by remortgaging because your loan to value could be lower if you paid off a significant part of your mortgage since it started.
