How A Self Certified Remortgage Loan Saves Money
Remortgaging is the process of obtaining a new mortgage to pay off an older mortgage- using the same property as collateral against the loan. This is done to snare more competitive rates from other lenders, and for those with self cert loans, the difference in savings can be quite dramatic.
Mortgages that were obtained as a fixed rate mortgage, as many self certified mortgages are, aren’t able to take advantage of interest rates that may fall in the future. To still get the benefit of a lower interest rate, home owners can still remortgage with another lender. Knowing when to get the remortgage may be tricky, since the market can be unpredictable at best. Consulting a loan officer usually gives a home owner a better idea of their situation.
Peruse your contract with your current lender to ensure that there are no early redemption charges. Such charges are used to persuade borrowers to stay with the current lender, and increase the current lender’s profits in case the borrower still wants to go with a different lending company. Also check with the competitor, as some even offer cash-back bonuses that cover such frivolous charges.
Arrangement fees are another thing to consider. Because the lender must closely research your case, access credit reports, and possibly incur fees in the process, some extra fees may be charged. This fee is variable from one lender to another, and if you’re lucky you may find one that doesn’t charge such fees. It is possible to pay up to 1% of the total loan amount in arrangement fees.
Keep in mind that the lender is going to be tough to win over, even when going to another lender for a remortgage. The new lender may ask for records of payment history on the current loan. The lender may also request all records that the original lender had to access, and thus, remortgages may also require an arrangement fee. Again, this will vary, so be sure to spread your search over a wide variety of lending practices in your local area.
Consumers are allowed to remortgage a self cert loan as much as they would like- just be sure to watch out for fees associated with them. If possible, try to weed out any fees of a contract before signing anything. Many lenders will be desperate enough for the profits that they will be quite flexible on the specifics of the contract.
