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.
When should I remortgage?
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.

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
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.

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.
