Best remortgage rates
This table shows some of our partner Mojo's best 2 year and 5 year fixed remortgage deals based on their initial rates available at different loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. This initial rate is what you pay throughout the introductory period (for a 2 year fixed-rate mortgage, the introductory period is two years).
The APRC (Annual Percentage Rate of Change) is included after each initial rate. APRC provides an overall picture of the mortgage deal, taking fees and the lender's standard variable rate (SVR) you typically fall onto after the introductory period into account.
This can be useful when comparing different mortgage deals, but doesn't consider that many people remortgage onto another deal before they move onto the SVR.
Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up with your mortgage repayments.

What does remortgaging mean?
Remortgaging means changing your mortgage without changing your home. Sometimes you can switch your mortgage to a different product with your existing lender (known as a product transfer) or you can select another mortgage product with an entirely different lender (known as a remortgage).
There are a wide variety of reasons that people may choose to remortgage their home, but often they want to save money or borrow more money.
Why remortgage?
There are several reasons why you might want to remortgage:
Remortgage to save money
There are a number of ways you could make both short-term and longer-term savings by shopping around remortgage deals:
1. You're on your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR)
This rate is usually higher than other deals available so at this point, people often look at the best remortgage deals available to them, to see if they could save on their existing rate
2. You've gained equity in your home
If you've gained substantial equity in your home, the loan to value (LTV) ratio of your borrowing will have reduced. This means that the percentage of your borrowing has fallen compared to the cost of the property. As the best remortgage rates tend to be available to those with the lowest LTV, this might be a good time to look at your options
3. Interest rates are increasing
You're on a variable rate deal and there are increases in the Bank of England base rate, you may feel the need for more stability with your repayments. A fixed-rate mortgage can give you peace of mind, as the interest rate cannot increase until the fixed-rate period is over.
4. You want more flexibility with mortgage payments
One way to save money on your mortgage in the longer term is to repay it more quickly, as this reduces the total amount of interest you'll pay over the mortgage term. Some mortgages allow overpayments of up to 10% of the loan per year, but if you want to overpay more you might consider remortgaging to a deal with more flexible terms. An offset mortgage can also help you to pay your mortgage off sooner
Remortgage to borrow more
Some people remortgage to increase their borrowing, which can be helpful in a wide variety of circumstances:
To carry out home improvements
To pay for the costs of education or help get family members onto the property ladder
To consolidate debts
For large purchases, such as a car or holiday
It’s worth taking into consideration that this is not always the cheapest way to borrow money. While mortgage interest rates can be lower than those on a personal loan, you'll be paying interest on that additional balance for the entire length of your remaining mortgage term.
Remortgage to save money
You've fallen onto your lender’s SVR - often the most expensive rate they have
You've gained equity in your home - This will lower the loan to value (LTV) ratio of your borrowing and the best remortgage rates tend to be available to those with the lowest LTV
Interest rate rises - If you're on a variable rate and see multiple increases to the Bank of England base rate you may begin to crave more stability. Remortgaging to a fixed-rate mortgage in the short term can offer this - even if they are slightly higher initially, they cannot increase until the deal period is over
You want more payment flexibility - certain mortgage products allow larger overpayments with no early repayment charges (ERCs) - this can help you repay your loan earlier. You may also want to consider remortgaging to an offset mortgage if you have substantial savings
Remortgage to borrow more
Some people remortgage to increase their borrowing, which can be helpful in a range of circumstances, such as:
Home improvements
Educational costs
Help kids or other family get onto the property ladder with a deposit
Debt consolidation
Big one-off purchases - car, holiday etc
Keep in mind that remortgaging to release equity (borrow money from the portion of your property you already own) is not always the cheapest way to borrow money.
While mortgage interest rates can be lower than personal loan rates, you pay interest on the additional balance for the entire length of your remaining mortgage term - which is likely to cost more overall.
When should I remortgage?
When to remortgage
The optimal time to remortgage is usually around three to six months before your current deal comes to an end. This allows you to compare remortgage deals and secure a new rate, avoiding being automatically moved onto your lender’s standard variable rate.
If you want to remortgage sooner, you’ll likely need to pay early repayment charges to leave your current deal early. That said, remortgaging sooner might be worthwhile if:
Lower interest rates are available (as long as paying any early repayment charges won’t outweigh the benefits of the better rate)
Your property value has substantially increased, giving you access to more competitive rates
Your financial needs have changed, so you need to adjust your mortgage term or move to a lender that offers better flexibility
You want to release equity and remortgage to borrow more money
Good times to remortgage
You’re coming to the end of your current fixed-rate deal or introductory deal period - you can set up a remortgage as far as six months in advance of the end date
You see a much better rate - bear in mind that you'll need to look at how much any early repayment charges (ERCs) will cost you to leave your existing deal, as they could outweigh the benefits of the better rate
You’re on a variable rate deal and the Bank of England base rate looks like it will rise soon - remortgaging to avoid increased interest rates may be possible, so long as your ERCs won’t end up costing you more
Your home has increased in value dramatically, reducing your LTV
Your current lender doesn’t offer the flexibility you would like, such as offsetting or the ability to overpay
You’re not tied into a deal that has ERCs to pay so can leave at any time
When it's best not to remortgage
If there are no better rates available than your existing one, in which case it’s probably not worth paying the fees involved with remortgaging, especially if you also have ERCs to pay
If you’re only a short way into a fairly long fixed period. The further you are from the end of your fixed or introductory rate term, the higher fees are likely to be. It’s unlikely you will benefit from remortgaging at this point, but ERCs tend to decrease the closer you are to the end of the deal
Your property value has fallen, causing your LTV to increase, or worse, putting you in negative equity (where you owe more than the current value of your home). If you're in negative equity, it's unlikely you'd be able to secure a remortgage
If you haven’t gained much equity in your home yet, as your property value hasn’t increased and you haven’t repaid much of the original loan. Lenders usually have a minimum equity requirement to remortgage
Your financial circumstances have changed for the worse, meaning that it would be difficult to qualify for a remortgage. You may still be able to do a product transfer with your existing lender, so long as you don’t want to borrow more
How do I remortgage?
Remortgaging typically includes researching and comparing deals, assessing how much you need to borrow, getting an agreement in principle, completing the full mortgage application, getting a property valuation and using a conveyancer to support you with the legal transfer to the new mortgage.
Remortgaging with a new lender usually takes several weeks though, if you stick with the same lender, you may find the process much quicker.
The remortgaging timeline looks like this:
Research and comparison - Once you’ve compared the latest remortgage deals, your next step is often deciding whether to go it alone or speak with a mortgage broker. A fee-free broker can do the heavy lifting for you, scouring the market to find a deal tailored to your specific financial situation. However, it pays to keep your eyes open - while some "intermediary only" deals are exclusive to brokers, other "direct only" rates can only be found by going straight to the lender.
Remortgage Application - If you decide to switch to a new lender, be prepared for a bit of admin. You’ll typically need to hand over "the big three" - proof of ID, your most recent payslips, and several months of bank statements so they can run their affordability checks. However, if you stick with your current lender for a product transfer, the process is often much smoother. Since they already know your financial history, you might find you don't need to provide all that paperwork again, making the jump to a new deal significantly faster.
Lender Checks - Lenders will run a thorough affordability check, weighing your income against your monthly outgoings to ensure you can afford the repayments. They’ll also review your credit history, check your credit rating and conduct a property valuation to confirm the home is worth the loan amount they're offering to lend you.
Mortgage Offer & Completion - Once the lender approves your application, they’ll issue a formal mortgage offer. Once accepted, your solicitor or conveyancer takes over to handle the legal paperwork and finalise the deal. On the day of completion, your new lender sends the funds directly to your old provider to pay off the existing debt, with any additional borrowing you've requested paid straight to you.

How to remortgage
When you remortgage your property, you essentially pay off your existing mortgage with another mortgage. This can either be with the exact same sized loan, usually at a different rate of interest, or with a larger or smaller loan, depending on your level of equity and what you plan to do.
The application should be similar to taking out your original mortgage, but it's a good idea to take remortgage advice first, to ensure you get the timing right for your circumstances and guidance on how remortgaging works.
Can I get a remortgage deal?
It depends on your current circumstances. When you remortgage your house with another lender, the same eligibility requirements apply as when you took out your original mortgage:
Affordability
Credit status
Age
Property type
LTV - equity in your home should have grown enough to cover a remortgage deposit, but some lenders allow you top up a shortfall with a cash deposit too.
Remortgaging in the current market
The current Bank of England (BoE) base rate was held 3.75% in March 2026 after a 25 basis point cut from 4% in December 2025. While there are no guarantees when it comes to how this might impact mortgage rates, this may be positive news for some homeowners looking to remortgage. Those remortgaging may be wondering whether to opt for a two or five year fixed rate, with industry analysts suggesting that mortgage rates are currently falling faster for shorter-term fixes.
In a remortgage, you can remortgage with the same lender, known as a product transfer (or mortgage renewal), or switch to a new deal. To see how the numbers stack up, chat with a broker to get a personalised remortgage quote.”Laura Hamilton, Mortgage Expert
What are remortgage rates?
Remortgage rates vary from one deal to the next and one lender to another, but are usually competitive compared to the SVR (standard variable rate) that you fall onto when a fixed or variable rate introductory period ends.
These are typically among the highest rates offered by lenders, so it's a good idea to look at remortgage quotes around six months ahead of your deal expiry date.
What are current remortgage rates in the UK?
Remortgage rates tend to be bespoke to the applicant, depending on circumstances such as:
Financial circumstances
Credit score
Equity held in property
The cheapest remortgage rates are generally available to those with the greatest equity in their home. Keep up to date with today's current remortgage rates and speak to a broker to ensure you secure the best rate for you.
How to find the best remortgage deals
The best remortgage deals are available to those with the lowest LTV (so the greatest level of equity in their home).
However, the cheapest remortgage rates won't always reflect the best deal over all. Remember to also consider fees when calculating the overall cost of switching deals.
Our broker partner Mojo Mortgages has access to the latest remortgage rates available, and can carry out a full comparison of remortgage deals across the whole market on your behalf.
What are the fees for remortgaging?
Remortgaging is essentially taking out another mortgage - so most of the fees involved in taking out a mortgage will still apply. This could include any or all of the following:
Exit fees to leave
ERCs if you leave before the deal end date
Arrangement fees
Legal fees
Valuation fees

"Really great advice and support throughout our remortgage process. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the team at Mojo. I would highly recommend to anyone needing down-to-earth mortgage advice. I'll definitely be back once my fixed deal comes to an end."
Trustpilot review, Mojo Mortgages customer - 10th December 2024
Is remortgaging good or bad?
It depends on your circumstances. If you're about to fall onto an SVR, there's certainly still a significant difference in the remortgage and product transfer rates available, compared to staying put. It's a good idea to get some remortgage quotes, to compare your options.
Taking remortgage advice from a qualified broker, like Mojo Mortgages, is highly recommended before making any decisions of this nature.
What are the advantages of remortgaging?
When deciding whether to remortgage, navigating your options can sometimes feel overwhelming. Here are just some of the advantages of remortgaging to consider:
You may be able to access more competitive rates when remortgaging, particularly if you’re about to fall onto an SVR, which typically carries higher interest rates
You can choose from a few different remortgaging options. For example, a product transfer may be quicker and more straightforward than remortgaging with a new lender
If you’re looking to borrow more money, you may find that remortgaging to use the equity in your property is a suitable borrowing option for you
You may be able to change the term on your mortgage. Depending on your financial goals, this could either reduce your monthly payments (though it will cost more interest in total) or reduce the total amount of interest you pay (though you’ll likely be faced with higher monthly payments)
If your current mortgage deal no longer suits your needs, remortgaging can help you find a product that better aligns with your financial goals (for example, moving to a lender who has a more flexible approach to overpayments)
If your financial situation has changed for the better since you first took out your mortgage, you may qualify for better rates
What are the disadvantages of remortgaging?
There are a few potential disadvantages to remortgaging, although, much like the benefits, your circumstances will have a big impact on whether they impact you, and to what extent:
Usually you'll need to pay remortgage fees, which can get costly if you remortgage every 2 or 5 years throughout the full duration of the mortgage - sometimes cancelling out the financial benefits
Not everyone is able to remortgage when they want to, as it can be difficult to qualify, especially with current remortgage rates higher than when most people remortgaging at the moment took out their deal. It can also be difficult if your financial circumstances decline
Remortgaging can take time, it's often quicker to do a product transfer
A new lender may not always be the right fit, especially if you're happy with your existing one
If you try to remortgage while still in an introductory or fixed rate period, you may have to pay additional charges know as ERCs
Remortgaging in the current market
For many people, the 14 base rate increases between 2022-23 made remortgaging very difficult. However, in February 2025, the Bank of England cut the base rate to 4.5% - the lowest level in 18 months. While there are no guarantees when it comes to how this might impact mortgage rates, this may be positive news for some homeowners looking to remortgage. Those remortgaging may be wondering whether to opt for a two or five year fixed rate, with industry analysts suggesting that mortgage rates are currently falling faster for shorter-term fixes.
What to do if you can't remortgage
If you're concerned that you might not meet the criteria of a new lender, it may be possible to opt for a product transfer instead. This is essentially remortgaging with your existing lender.
Historically lenders didn't reassess finances or credit status on a product transfer unless you borrowed more. However, because of the steep rise in interest rates which began at the end of 2022, they often do.
In June 2023, The Mortgage Charter was drawn up to assist people struggling with high mortgage costs. According to the FCA, around 1.7 million mortgage holders have benefited from one or more of the Mortgage Charter options since it was introduced.
It includes the following easements which may help if you're struggling to remortgage:
Mortgage holders can switch to interest-only repayments for up to six months to reduce their monthly payments - rates may be more affordable to you after this period
Mortgage terms can be extended up to 40 years (for six months)
Customers who are up to date with their repayments may product transfer onto a fixed-rate deal with their current lender
No affordability checks or credit checks will be carried out to set up these temporary measures
Keep in mind: All options above have the potential to impact your long-term financial circumstances, even if they help in the short term.
How to find the best remortgage rates today
It's a good idea to look at the latest remortgage rates carefully before you decide to switch mortgages.
Our broker partner, Mojo Mortgages, can help you assess the remortgage options available to your carefully, and find your best remortgage deal, once you're ready to lock in a new rate. However, keep in mind that the best deal available to you won't always be the cheapest on the market.
How to get the cheapest remortgage rates available
When remortgaging, the rates available to you are very much based on your current circumstances. This comes down to:
Your current LTV - the lower it is, typically the lower the rate available
Your purpose for the remortgage - usually the lowest remortgage rates are available to those switching deals. If you're remortgaging to release equity (borrow more) then both your LTV and the risk in lending are increased
Your current financial circumstances - If your affordability has increased due to a higher income then this will also help reduce the risk of lending to you
Current credit score - If your credit rating has improved since you took out your mortgage, you'll usually be able to get lower rates than if it had declined
Keep in mind that lenders will look at these elements in unison, and each assess them differently, so to ensure you're getting the best deal available to you, it's best to speak to a broker.
How to find the best remortgage deal
Remortgage rates tend to be bespoke to the applicant, depending on circumstances such as:
Your financial circumstances
Your credit history
How much equity is held in property
The cheapest remortgage rates are generally available to those with the greatest equity in their home (i.e. the lowest loan-to-value).
Speaking to a broker can help you secure the best rate for you. Our broker partner Mojo Mortgages has access to the latest remortgage rates available, and can carry out a full comparison of remortgage deals across the whole market on your behalf.
What fees will I need to pay when I remortgage?
Remortgaging is essentially taking out another mortgage - so most of the fees involved in taking out a mortgage will still apply. This could include any or all of the following:
Exit fees to close your mortgage account with your current lender
Early repayment charges if you leave before the deal end date
Arrangement fees, paid to the new lender for setting up your mortgage
Legal fees to cover the legal work involved in switching mortgages
Valuation fees so your lender can assess the property’s value
Booking fees, charged by some lenders when you apply for a mortgage
Deeds release fee to cover the costs of your lender sending over the title deeds to your solicitor
Some lenders will offer to pay your conveyancing fees or valuation fees as an incentive for switching to them. So it’s important to consider all additional fees when comparing remortgage deals to understand the overall cost.
Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
If your mortgage deal is ending within 6 months, speak to a broker to lock in your best remortgage rates asap. You're not bound to the new remortgage deal until your existing one ends, so the earlier the better.”Laura Hamilton, Mortgage Expert

Remortgage FAQs
How does the LTV of my property affect remortgaging?
Lenders have a maximum LTV that they are willing to offer in any given scenario, depending on how well you meet the other lending criteria and how much you need to borrow.
As lower LTV borrowing is less of a risk to the lender, the interest rates offered tend to be more competitive.
The LTV is the percentage of the total cost of the property that you need to borrow. To calculate it, find out the total outstanding value of your mortgage, your property’s current value and then divide your outstanding mortgage balance by your property’s value:
Example:
You have £100,000 left to pay on your mortgage
Your property is worth £200,000
Divide £100,000 by £200,000
= 0.50.5 x 100 = 50 (or 50% LTV)
When you remortgage, the LTV will depend on:
How much of the original loan you have repaid
Whether your property has increased in value and;
Whether you need to borrow more money or are simply remortgaging for a better interest rate
How much can I borrow when I remortgage?
When you remortgage your house, you can either borrow the remaining outstanding balance on your mortgage - usually if you're just changing deals for a cheaper rate or to switch to a new fixed remortgage deal because your previous term has ended.
You may also be able to borrow more when you remortgage, but this will depend on your circumstances. Having more equity in your home can make it easier to borrow additional money when you remortgage, but you'll also need to prove you can afford to repay the larger amount.
How long does it take to remortgage my house?
Remortgaging usually takes about a month, which is the time you need to complete all the paperwork and have a valuation carried out on your home. When the process is over, you’ll be notified with a completion statement from your lender.
If you choose to remortgage with the same lender, this is known as a product transfer (or mortgage renewal). Because the lender already has all your details, product transfers tend to be quicker than remortgaging with a new lender. Some lenders offer digital product transfers which can be completed online very quickly.
Will I need to have my house valued when I remortgage?
If you remortgage with a new lender, you will need to have a property valuation. Much like you did when you took out the original mortgage.
If you use a product transfer to remortgage with your current lender, you won’t usually need to have a valuation, however, you may need to if your house has changed significantly in value.
Can I remortgage as an older borrower?
Historically older borrowers have had a harder time remortgaging, especially if they are nearing retirement age, due to the maximum age limits imposed by many lenders.
However, in recent years there has been a noticeable increase in flexibility in this area, with some lenders extending their maximum age of borrower and maximum age by which the mortgage needs to be repaid.
When nearing retirement age, many people reassess their finances, and a large part of this is likely to be looking at their remaining mortgage balance, and how they can live more comfortably in their later years.
People in these circumstances may consider more specialist products, such as:
Remortgaging onto a retirement interest-only mortgage (RIO) - often a helpful option for homeowners likely to fall short of repaying the final lump sum balance on an interest-only mortgage.
Remortgage onto an equity release product - always take qualified financial advice from an equity release specialist before considering this type of remortgage.
Can I remortgage with bad credit?
Yes, it’s certainly possible, depending on the level of your credit issue. There are bad credit lenders specifically intended to help people in these circumstances, although the remortgage rates tend to be higher.
If you’re concerned about your credit score, another option is to consider a product transfer. Your existing lender is unlikely to check your credit rating or affordability unless you’re increasing your loan amount or extending the term of your mortgage, so a product transfer can be an easier option.
Should I switch lenders or get a product transfer?
Choosing between a product transfer (or mortgage renewal) with your current lender or remortgaging to a new lender depends on lots of factors including interest rates, fees and your financial goals.
Switching lenders
You may be able to access more competitive interest rates from a new lender
A new lender may offer different features, such as the ability to overpay
You’ll be able to borrow more if you choose to
Product transfer
Often quicker and simpler, with no legal work involved or property valuation needed
Avoids potential exit fees from your current lender
May be a better option if your financial situation has changed and switching lenders would be difficult
There’s no one right answer for all. Be sure to weigh up your options and discuss the different fees and deals with a mortgage broker.
