Remortgage as the word suggests is mortgaging once again on the same collateral. The present mortgage debt is first cleared. Then a new mortgage is applied for, pledging the same house as before. Thus without moving house you can get a new mortgage.

What are the benefits of a remortgage?

• You could be dissatisfied with your current lender. Your lender might not be providing you proper service or you have realized lately that your loan is being priced expensively.
• The current rates of interest might be lower than what you had locked in with the mortgage. If the market shows a tendency to remain low for a few months and then skyrocket, remortgaging should be an option worth considering. You can remortgage and take advantage of the low rates. The rates might be just one point, but when it amounts to 25-30 years you will be saving a huge sum.
• Your monthly repayment amount will be lesser. Thus you can redirect this money saved for your expenses.
• You can borrow more than before. Your house must be appreciated and thus would fetch you a bigger mortgage amount. You can tap this appreciated equity in your house.
• You can change the interest type you have chosen. If you had locked in variable rates and suffered in volatile markets, you can lock in a fixed rate. On the contrary, if you had fixed rates with your mortgage and your financial adviser predicts a downtrend in the rates later on in the mortgage term, you would rather lock in a variable rate.
• You can consolidate all your unsecured loans into one loan and pay them off with a remortgage. The rates for a mortgage at least 10 points below those of unsecured loans. Thus you can pay them cheaply.
• There is no restriction on the use you put your money to. You can buy a car or go on a much desired for holiday. You can also invest the money in stocks or even buy a new property. You can even put the money back in your house by spending on home improvements.

What you should remember while remortgaging?

• You can avail of a remortgage with the current lender. If it is just a change in the mortgage type or an interest type, you may not change the lender. You should first ask your lender if he/she can provide you what you want. They could get you waive in some costs. Moreover dealing with a known face does matter.
• You might have to pay redemption penalties for taking a remortgage. You should ask your lender regarding the amount of penalty you would have to pay, if any.
• You have many options to choose from: fixed rate, capped rate, discounted rate, tracker rate or a combination of these.

Remortgage had always been associated with a stigma. Earlier a remortgage was availed by only the bankrupt and was a last ditch attempt. But today that has changed. There are some who feel that the first mortgage was strenuous. As they already know the ways of the mortgage process, it would be easier the second time round.
