Lenders are still attempting to lure in homeowners with low interest rates on remortgages. It is a wonder that any would stay away with the opportunities available. For why wouldn’t someone want to save money if they could? By not seeking out the possibility of a lower interest rate, homeowners have committed to the financial choice of overpaying on their mortgage.

For some homeowners there could be substantial savings to be found with a lower interest rate. For others there is the chance to secure a low interest rate for years to come. Either way, it is surely a financial safety net that would be attractive to any homeowners, especially ones that aren’t in the habit of throwing away money or staying in risky ventures.

There are millions of homeowners in an obvious position to consider a remortgage. The homeowners that are nearing the end of their mortgage deal, and those that have already seen their current deal end and have been moved to their lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). The SVR is not where most homeowners want to have their mortgage connected. It is a risky venture as the SVR could be changed with little to no warning and that could put budgeted home owners in a bad position while rushing to get a new deal. At that point they could find lending tightening and would be stuck on the SVR as it rises upward.

Even those homeowners that aren’t soon to see their mortgage term end might want to consider a remortgage. Fees for ending a deal soon could be acceptable if perhaps the homeowner wants to secure a longer term with a low interest rate or can find adequate savings with a new deal.

Experts encourage homeowners to consider the entire remortgage deal when making decisions. Include all costs, even fees, when balancing the deal against any savings. By looking at the whole cost against the savings, as well as any benefits of the deal, the homeowner can best choose if a remortgage is the right one for their unique needs.
