Remortgaging soars amid rate rise speculation

The number of homeowners remortgaging their homes has soared over the last month as borrowers seek to take advantage of low interest rates.

This is according to the latest estimates from LMS*, the property services group. They claim that the number of remortgage loans reached 46,423 last month, which is an 89% increase on this time last year. The total amount withdrawn from remortgaging in July was £1.27bn.

What this means for home owners

Adam Nanson, Managing Director of Your Mortgage Expert comments: “There is a great deal of speculation about when the base rate may rise. Latest predictions** are that it will probably be April 2016. As a result, homeowners are rushing to fix their mortgage deals before they have to pay more.

“So far, lenders haven’t increased interest rates, but this situation won’t last forever. It would therefore be prudent for homeowners an buy to let investors to fix their mortgages to avoid missing out on the great mortgage deals that are currently on the market.”

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE. SECURING SHORT TERM DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME COULD INCREASE THE TERM OVER WHICH THEY ARE PAID AND THEREFORE INCREASE THE OVERALL AMOUNT PAYABLE. YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY AN EARLY REPAYMENT CHARGE TO YOUR EXISTING LENDER IF YOU REMORTGAGE.
