The everyday homeowner is dealing with more than ever right now. Not only has every aspect of our lives been put under greater amounts of stress, we constantly are worrying what the interest rates have planned for us within the next 12 to 24 months. That is just the short term. Don’t even try to imagine where the rates will sit at the end of the decade. Now, more than ever, we must take control of what we can regarding our home mortgage. Remortgage is the answer!

There are several reasons homeowners should do anything and everything possible to try and obtain a new remortgage loan product. Lets look at three that should be at the very top of your list.

1) Remortgaging to save. There has never been a time in history of more uncertainty within the housing market, or any other market for that matter. When implementing a remortgage loan product, unless your home has fallen into negative equity, a great deal of spare cash could be put away into savings. That’s right, savings. It is true savings accounts are not paying much at all right now in the way of interest, but as soon as interest rates start rising, more interest payments can be made back to you.

2)To fight back against the possibilities of negative equity. Negative equity is a condition in which a piece of property’s value falls below what is still owed on the piece of property. This is a very unfavorable position to be in. Negative equity gives you a handcuffed feeling. You don’t want to sell, and you don’t want to remortgage because you will probably be turned down before the process gets started. It is possible that home prices will stop dropping in value soon, and you still have time to act.

3) Remortgaging to invest. There is a great chance, you will be able to skim a great deal of cash off the top after implementing your new remortgage loan product. If this is the case, take your time and invest it wisely. There are so many options available to you. You could buy to let another piece of property. You could make home improvements. Or invest in stocks and bonds here, or overseas.

The main goal is to plan for a lengthy recovery phase and plan accordingly. Seeing a remortgage specialist certainly would not hurt either.
