5 top tips to prepare for your remortgage

There are a few simple things to do to boost your chances of getting the best possible remortgage

1

Get on the electoral roll

If you’re not yet registered to vote, it’s very unlikely you’ll be able to get a remortgage, as lenders use the electoral roll to check your ID.

2

Get a valuation and find out how much equity you have in your home

The more equity you have the better your options will be, and also the lower the loan to value (LTV). Get a valuation from an estate agent to find out your home’s value. If you owe £100,000 on your mortgage and your property is now valued at £180,000, you have £80,000 equity.

3

Get proof of income

All lenders have to show that borrowers can afford to pay back their mortgages.

4

Don’t miss or make late payments

If you’ve not already done so, set up a direct debit on your credit cards so you’re never late with repayments.

5

Check your credit file

Get a copy of your credit file from a credit reference agency, like Equifax. When you receive your file, check it for any errors. If you believe your file is wrong, ask the agency to correct it.

3 possible reasons to remortgage

Your current deal is about to end

Act quickly and you could avoid going on to your lender’s standard variable rate, potentially saving you £100s each year.

Consolidate expensive loans & credit cards

Pay off your debts including credit cards, store cards, personal loans and overdrafts with one simple and easy to manage monthly repayment.

Home improvement

A home improvement remortgage can be a cheaper way of funding improvement than taking out a loan or maxing out your credit cards.

What paperwork will I need?

Applying for a remortgage you will typically need the following paperwork:

  • Proof of income (your last three months’ payslips, or two to three years’ accounts if self-employed).
  • Three months’ worth of bank statements
  • Proof of any bonuses or commission you have received
  • Your latest P60 tax form
  • SA302 tax return forms, (mainly for the self-employed)
