Six months before your current deal ends. Most UK lenders let you lock in a new rate 6 months ahead with no obligation to complete — you can re-book if rates fall. ### Are UK remortgages always worth it? Not always — a large ERC or product fee can outweigh the payment saving. Use the break-even view (fees ÷ monthly saving) to decide. ### How long does a UK remortgage take? Typically 4–8 weeks from application to completion. Product transfers (same lender) can complete in under 2 weeks with no legal work. ### Can I remortgage to release equity in the UK? Yes — this is called capital raising. Common reasons (home improvements, deposit for a second property, debt consolidation) are accepted by most lenders; business or tax reasons need a specialist. ### Will remortgaging hurt my credit score? One hard search on application. A broker's soft-search sourcing means only your chosen lender does a hard search — protecting your file from multiple footprints. ### Can I remortgage with bad credit in the UK? Yes — specialist lenders (Pepper, Kensington, Precise, Vida) price for adverse credit. Rates are higher but often cheaper than staying on SVR. A specialist broker is essential. ### Do I need a new valuation to remortgage? Yes, but most UK lenders now use free automated (AVM) or desktop valuations.
