Remortgage Advice Made Simple- Switch to a Better Deal in 2026

Clear, fee‑free re-mortgage guidance to help you secure a better rate, reduce your monthly payments, or release equity with confidence.

What is a Re-Mortgage?

 

A re-mortgage simply means switching your existing mortgage to a new deal, either with your current lender or a new one. Many homeowners re-mortgage to secure a better interest rate, reduce monthly payments, release equity, or protect themselves from rising rates.

When should you re-mortgage?​​​​​

When Should You Remortgage? Most people start looking 3–6 months before their current deal ends. This gives you time to compare options and lock in a new rate before your lender moves you onto the Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is usually more expensive.

Reasons to remortgage:

  • Your fixed rate is ending

  • You want to reduce monthly payments

  • You want to borrow more (home improvements, debt consolidation, etc.)

  • You want to switch to a fixed rate for stability

  • You want to release equity

REMORTGAGE FAQ

How early can I remortgage?

Most lenders allow you to secure a new deal up to 6 months before your current one ends

Can I remortgage to borrow more?

Well Financial can help you explore whether you can remortgage to borrow more, as many lenders allow additional borrowing for things like home improvements, debt consolidation or major expenses. Your ability to borrow extra will depend on affordability checks, your credit profile, your current loan‑to‑value and the purpose of the additional funds. We compare options across a wide panel of lenders and explain everything clearly so you understand what’s realistic and whether borrowing more through a remortgage is the right choice for you.

Can I remortgage if my income has changed since my last mortgage?

Well Financial can help you explore remortgage options even if your income has changed, as lenders assess affordability based on your current situation. Some lenders are more flexible than others, and we compare the whole market to find options that match your updated income, employment type or financial circumstances

Can I remortgage if I’m self‑employed or run my own business?

Well Financial regularly supports self‑employed clients with remortgages, using lender criteria that accept accounts, SA302s or accountant‑prepared documents. Different lenders assess income differently, and we’ll guide you through the most suitable options for your business structure.

Do I have to stay with my current lender?

No, you can switch to any lender offering a better deal.

Can I remortgage if my credit score has dropped?

Well Financial works with a wide panel of lenders, including those who consider applications from clients with lower or imperfect credit scores. Your options will depend on the severity of the credit changes, but we’ll explain everything clearly and help you understand what’s realistic before you apply.

What Does "Ethical" Mortgage Advice Mean?

Well Financial believes ethical mortgage advice means putting your best interests first, offering clear guidance without pressure, and being fully transparent about products, fees and suitability.

 

For us, it also means supporting the wider community through sustainability initiatives, charity partnerships and responsible business practices. Ethical advice is about doing what’s right for you - not what’s easiest or most profitable - and making sure every recommendation is honest, fair and aligned with your long‑term goals.

Do You also offer Insurance Advice?

Well Financial provides independent insurance advice alongside our mortgage services, helping you understand options such as life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection and home insurance. We compare policies from a wide panel of insurers, explain the differences clearly and help you choose the cover that fits your needs and budget. Our goal is to make insurance simple, transparent and tailored to your circumstances.

Does remortgaging cost money?

Some lenders offer fee‑free remortgage deals, and we’ll always compare every cost upfront so you know exactly where you stand. In some cases, there may be a fee involved - but we’ll explain this clearly before you make any decisions.

If you stay with your current lender, there aren’t any fees. If you switch to a new lender, there may be an administration fee, but we only recommend moving if the savings outweigh the costs. Solicitor fees can also apply, although many lenders cover these when you use their own solicitors or offer cashback if you choose your own.

Certain types of re-mortgages come with additional fees, and we’ll always be upfront about these.

 

Transparency is at the heart of what we do. Our goal is to save you money, reduce stress, and make sure every decision feels informed and comfortable.

Is it possible to remortgage if my property value has gone down?

Well Financial can still help you review your remortgage options even if your property value has decreased, though it may affect the loan‑to‑value available. We’ll check whether staying with your current lender or switching to a new one offers the best outcome based on your updated valuation.

Can I remortgage if I want to add or remove someone from the mortgage?

Well Financial can help you with a remortgage that includes adding or removing a person from the mortgage, known as a transfer of equity. Lenders will reassess affordability and eligibility, and we’ll make the process clear and straightforward from start to finish.
