Homeowners that have had their current remortgage deal end and those that are close are likely considering a remortgage. If they aren’t, they should be. Experts report that those that mortgaged with a fixed rate two or more years ago could find that not remortgaging will have them paying double or more the interest rate of their lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). To escape being moved to the lender’s SVR at the end of their mortgage deal a remortgage is the only answer.
