Reducing payments
Have you been with your current mortgage lender for over three
years? Do you think your monthly repayments are too much?
The mortgage lender market has become increasingly
competitive, with a lot of lenders offering low interest rates
to attract new borrowers. As a result many homeowners are
switching lenders to take advantage of these deals and saving
hundreds of pounds.
The majority of mortgage borrowers are paying standard variable
rate interest payments on their mortgage. However almost all
mortgage lenders have better deals with lower interest rate
payments.
In the past, borrowers have treated a mortgage as a life-long
commitment without considering that by switching lenders they
could save a lot of money. It used to be the same with banking
services, telephone services and utility services such as
gas and electricity – until recently.
The naturally conservative approach to such change in the
UK is shifting at last and UK consumers are increasingly willing
to change from one provider to another, be it banking, telephony,
utility and so on, in order to save money.
And that being the case, it’s clear that remortgaging
will become increasingly popular given that it is very likely
that most people could make far greater savings switching
their mortgage than any of the other services mentioned. Why
delay – we can help make the whole process simple, efficient
and effective in achieving what you are looking for.
Debt Consolidation
Against the background of increasing property values, in
recent years many people in the UK have used the process of
remortgaging to ‘release equity’ in their property
in order to use the money for other purposes – sometimes
to pay off other debts that exist. This is known as debt consolidation
and in some cases can be a good approach to rationalising
debt and reducing multiple monthly payments to a single, probably
more manageable payment.
However, in making such a move people should be aware of
the possible consequences of extending the term of the debt
and securing previously unsecured debt. Also, the option of
negotiating with existing creditors might produce better long-term
results. Our specialist advisors would help with these considerations
enabling you to make the best decision for your own situation.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your
home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments
on your mortgage.
