    Frequently asked questions

    How early can I switch my UK mortgage?

    Up to 6 months before your current deal ends with most UK lenders. Rate is held with no obligation — if rates drop, you can re-book.

    Product transfer or remortgage — what's the difference?

    Product transfer is faster and easier (same lender, no legal work) but rarely the best rate. A remortgage to a new lender usually saves more but takes 6–8 weeks. A broker will show both side by side.

    What happens if I don't remortgage when my fix ends?

    You roll onto the lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR) — currently 7–9% for most UK banks. Payment jumps by £200–£800/month on a typical loan. Always switch before rollover.

    Can I remortgage before my fix ends without ERC?

    Only if you're within the last 6 months (some lenders 3). Otherwise the ERC applies, and it usually outweighs the saving. Exceptions: porting to a new property, or if the ERC is very small.

    Do I need a solicitor to remortgage in the UK?

    Yes, but most remortgages come with free legals (lender pays a panel firm). Only capital-raising or complex title changes usually need paid conveyancing.

    Will a remortgage affect my credit score?

    One hard search per application. Multiple applications in a short window hurt more than one — which is why using a broker (one soft search across many lenders) is safer.
