    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.

    When you remortgage onto a 5-year fix, you’re usually doing so from a materially different position than when you took your original mortgage. Repayments and — in most markets — price appreciation mean that years of ownership often push the loan into a better LTV band than you started at. That shift can open rate tiers that weren’t accessible on your original purchase, and a 5-year fix locks in that improved pricing for half a decade. Checking your current LTV before you search is worth the two minutes it takes.

    The incentive structure on 5-year remortgage deals is also worth examining carefully. Many lenders bundle free legal work and a free valuation specifically to make the switching process feel painless; these are most common on the 5-year remortgage range because that’s where the competition for reliable, low-churn borrowers is sharpest. A deal with free legals and a slightly higher rate can easily beat the headline-rate deal once conveyancing costs are stripped out — the incentives column above makes that comparison visible in one row.

    We ingest the data ourselves

    Frequently asked questions

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

    01I’m remortgaging and my LTV has improved since I bought — how do I make sure I’m in the right band?
    Get an up-to-date valuation before you apply — most remortgage deals include a free one. If your home has appreciated significantly, you may have crossed into a better LTV tier (for example, from 80% down to below 75%). Using the LTV filter above will show you what’s available in your actual band. Lenders will instruct their own valuation on application, but having a realistic figure upfront helps you search in the right place.
    02Should I take a product transfer or remortgage to a new lender?
    A product transfer is faster — your current lender reprices with no conveyancing and often no new affordability check. A remortgage takes longer but lets you shop the whole market, access better LTV pricing if your equity has grown, and borrow more if you need to. The 5-year rates here represent what the open market offers; compare them against your current lender’s retention deal before deciding. If the difference is small, the product transfer’s lower friction often tips the balance.
    03What free legal and valuation incentives should I expect on a 5-year remortgage?
    Free standard legal work and a free valuation are both common on competitive 5-year remortgage products — they’re an acquisition tool for lenders who want long-term, low-maintenance borrowers. Not every deal includes both. The incentives column in the table above shows what each product bundles; a deal offering both can save £700–£1,200 compared to one that doesn’t, which can outweigh a modest rate disadvantage.
    04Can I port a 5-year remortgage fix if I move house before it ends?
    Most fixed-rate remortgage products are portable — the mortgage moves with you to a new property rather than triggering the ERC. Porting requires your lender’s approval of the new property and a fresh affordability assessment; any additional borrowing for the new purchase is at whatever rate applies at the time. Not all lenders port with equal ease, and the process still has timescales, so if you expect to move within the 5-year term it’s worth confirming the lender’s porting policy before committing.
