    Best 3-year fixed remortgage rates, the term most borrowers skip past.

    Not as ubiquitous as 2 or 5-year fixes, but when the market prices them well, 3-year remortgage fixes solve a specific timing problem that neither shorter nor longer deals do.

    Three-year fixed remortgage products occupy a quieter corner of the residential market. Most lenders concentrate their product development at 2 and 5 years, and 3-year fixes appear — and are priced competitively — intermittently. That makes the timing question more acute: when a 3-year fix is genuinely well priced, it earns attention; when the market isn’t pricing it keenly, the 2 and 5-year alternatives tend to be more straightforward choices.

    The case for three years on a remortgage is most concrete when your situation doesn’t fit neatly into the standard alternatives. Perhaps you know you’ll want to move around year four, making a 5-year fix and its ERC unattractive, but you don’t need the full flexibility of a 2-year deal. Or you’re expecting a significant change in household income around year three that would let you remortgage onto a better deal or pay down substantially. Three years can also suit borrowers who are on the edge of a better LTV band and want more time to cross it cleanly before their next deal.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    01Are 3-year fixed remortgage rates actually competitive, or just a secondary option?
    It varies by lender and by market conditions. At any given time, a handful of lenders price their 3-year remortgage ranges aggressively to attract a segment of the market that the mainstream terms don’t serve well. Our table re-ranks nightly from live product data, so if a genuinely competitive 3-year fix is available, it surfaces here. When nothing stands out, the 2 and 5-year alternatives are usually the more straightforward choice.
    02What are the ERC terms on a 3-year fixed remortgage?
    Early repayment charges on 3-year fixes typically run on a compressed sliding scale compared to a 5-year deal — often starting around 3% in year one and reaching 1% in year three. The exact schedule varies by lender and is shown in the product detail. If there’s a realistic chance you’ll need to exit before the three years are up, check the ERC before committing — or look at whether a tracker with no ERC is a better fit.
    03I’m expecting to move house in about four years — is a 3-year fix a good fit?
    Potentially, yes. A 3-year fix would expire before your anticipated move, leaving you on a short-term deal or product transfer for a year rather than triggering a large ERC on a 5-year fix. The alternative is to check whether a 2-year fix followed by a product transfer — no conveyancing, fast to arrange — achieves a similar outcome with even less friction. Both routes are worth pricing out against your specific timeline.
    04How does the 3-year term affect remortgage free-legal incentives?
    Free legals and free valuations are common remortgage incentives across all term lengths, including 3-year fixes. Whether a specific product includes them depends on the lender’s pricing strategy rather than the term itself. The incentives column in the table above shows what each deal bundles. On a like-for-like rate basis, a deal with free legals can save £500–£1,000 in conveyancing costs compared to one without.
