In recent years the options open to you if you are looking for a great mortgage deal have improved significantly.
The right mortgage deal for you will depend on your personal circumstances.
Things to be mindful of include:
Lenders' key consideration is affordability when they lend. Income criteria will come into play when assessing whether an interest-only mortgage is right for you.
For example for a £100k mortgage, a lender typically would need to see an income between £20,000 to £30,000 depending. Some lenders offer higher income multiple mortgages for professionals e.g. doctors or lawyers.
This criteria will vary so if you are unsure speak to a broker such as ourselves will help you get the right deal for your circumstances.
Whether it will be a good idea for you to remortgage depends on a number of factors, including your goals and your personal circumstances.
However, in general, if interest rates are lower than you are currently paying on your mortgage, it may be a good time to remortgage.
If interest rate are higher than you are currently paying, it may be better to look at other options, such as a second mortgage or a personal loan (if you aim is to borrow more).
If you are not sure whether now is the right time to remortgage, it is a good idea to speak to an independent mortgage broker who will be able to offer impartial advice.
