This year, an estimated 1.8 million mortgages across the UK are set to come up for renewal. Many of these homeowners and landlords secured ultra-low interest rates during the pandemic years when the BOEBR (Bank of England Base Rate) was slashed to historic lows. For those with previously agreed rates as low as 1-2%, the prospect of renewing at today's higher rates can feel daunting. But rest assured, there is help at hand.

Facing Higher Interest Rates? Here's What You Need to Know.

As your current mortgage deal comes to an end, it’s crucial to understand your options. Moving to your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR) could result in significantly higher monthly payments, often hundreds of pounds more. Instead, remortgaging allows you to secure a new deal tailored to your circumstances and potentially save money.

The key to a successful remortgage is preparation—and that starts with knowing when to act. That’s where mortgage monitoring comes in.

The Importance of Mortgage Monitoring

Our Mortgage Monitoring service is designed to take the stress out of tracking your mortgage deal’s end date. It ensures that you’re informed and ready to explore your options at the right time. Acting early can give you access to better deals and allow you to budget effectively for any changes in your payments.
