    Monthly payments illustrated on a £250,000 repayment mortgage over 25 years; fees not added to the loan. Rates shown are for comparison — full lender criteria apply.

    Remortgaging means replacing your current mortgage with a new deal, either with a different lender or with the same one via a product transfer. Most borrowers reach this decision when a fixed or tracker deal ends and the lender’s follow-on rate applies. That revert rate — shown in the ‘Then’ column on the rate tables — is typically a variable rate set well above current fixed deals. A single month on the revert rate on a £250,000 loan can cost more than the fee on a new fix, so the timing of when you lock a new deal is material.

    Remortgage products are structured differently from purchase deals in a few ways that affect the true cost. Free legal work is common — the lender instructs a conveyancer on your behalf and covers the cost, though you remain a client of that firm. A free valuation is also standard at most LTV bands. Capital-raising remortgages — where you increase the loan to release equity — are assessed at the same rates as like-for-like remortgages but underwritten on the larger figure; affordability is tested on the full new loan, not just the increase.

    We ingest the data ourselves

    Most comparison tables license the same third-party panel. We build ours directly from lender product data, run through our own quality-assurance pipeline — so we sometimes list deals other sites miss.

    Frequently asked questions

    How these tables work, and how to choose between the deals on them.

    01When is the right time to start comparing remortgage deals?
    Around six months before your current deal ends. Most lenders allow you to lock a new rate that far in advance, and the offer is then valid until your completion date. Starting early means you’re comparing from a position of choice rather than urgency. If rates improve before you complete, you can often switch to a cheaper deal from the same lender at no cost. Leaving it until the month your fix ends risks going onto the revert rate while you wait for a new offer to process.
    02Should I remortgage or take a product transfer with my current lender?
    Product transfers — staying with the same lender on a new deal — are faster and involve no legal work or valuation. The trade-off is that your current lender’s transfer rates may not be competitive with the wider market. Some lenders publish product transfer rates; others quote them only once you’re in the process. Comparing the transfer offer against the tables here takes minutes and can save thousands over a two or five-year term. The free legal and valuation bundle on a remortgage often closes the cost gap significantly.
    03What does the revert rate actually cost in practice?
    The revert rate — usually the lender’s standard variable rate — is set at the lender’s discretion, well above the pricing on new deals. On a £250,000 repayment mortgage over 25 years, the difference between a competitive 5-year fix and a typical SVR can be several hundred pounds a month. The ‘Then’ column in the rate tables shows each product’s revert rate; the gap between that and the initial rate is the risk you carry if you let a deal lapse.
    04Do remortgage deals include free legal work and a free valuation?
    Most do, at least at standard LTV bands. The lender appoints a solicitor from a panel to handle the title transfer and redemption of the old mortgage — you’re the client but the lender pays the bill. A free automated or physical valuation is typically included too. These incentives are shown alongside each product in the tables. Where a deal doesn’t include them, the saving on the headline rate usually needs to be large enough to cover instructing your own solicitor and valuer, which combined typically costs £500–£1,000.
    05How does capital raising work when remortgaging?
    Capital-raising means increasing your mortgage to release equity — commonly for home improvements, paying off other debts, or helping family. The rate you’re quoted is the same as a standard remortgage rate at your new LTV (which is higher than before, because you’re borrowing more against the same property). Lenders assess affordability on the full new loan amount and will want to know the purpose of the additional funds. Home improvements are typically viewed favourably; debt consolidation is accepted but noted, as it converts unsecured debt to secured.
