Remortgaging Advice in the Credit Crunch
Remortgaging has become increasingly difficult due to the current financial climate. People looking to switch to another lender as they near the end of their fixed mortgage agreement are discovering a market bereft of fixed mortgages. As a result many consumers are becoming nervous at the thought of paying the lender’s variable rate (up to 7.25%) which in many cases would see their payments soar overnight. However, there are still some fixed mortgage deals out there if you act fast. It is important to remember that you can reserve a mortgage plan for up to 6 months, so don’t wait until the last minute. Providers will hold a mortgage deal if you are willing to pay the valuation costs (£350).
If you find another mortgage plan at the time of remortgaging you are under no obligation to take the reserved package and you only stand to lose the cost of the evaluation. Our Moneysupermarket comparison tables will give you the best fixed mortgages currently on offer - see above.

How can I switch mortgages?
Your best means of switching a mortgage is to reduce your Loan to Value (LTV) rate as much as possible. If you have some savings which you can tap into, you could use them to overpay on your mortgage. Also ensure you are up to speed on your bills because lenders are scrupulous when it comes to reviewing credit history.
