REMORTGAGE

Welcome to our Remortgage Learning Zone

Many homeowners will remortgage their property at some stage during their lives. This can be done to raise additional cash by unlocking the equity that’s built up in the home, or to reduce monthly mortgage repayments – or both. In this Learning Zone, we’ll look at the entire process from start to finish, helping you to understand the options, benefits, risks and costs involved in the remortgaging process.
