Why Choose Remortgage in Preston?

When your current mortgage deal ends, you could save money by remortgaging to a new rate rather than moving onto your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). Our advisers search the whole market to help find options that may reduce your monthly payments.

Avoid SVR

When your fixed or tracker rate ends, you’ll typically move onto your lender’s SVR, which is usually significantly higher. Remortgaging could help you avoid this increase.

Whole Market Access

Our advisers search across the whole mortgage market to help identify deals that could suit your circumstances. This may include options not available directly from lenders.

Release Equity

If your property has increased in value, you may be able to release some of the equity when you remortgage. This could provide funds for home improvements or other purposes, subject to affordability.

Fix Your Rate

Remortgaging could allow you to fix your interest rate for a set period, giving you certainty over your monthly payments. Fixed rate terms typically range from 2 to 10 years.

Free Advice

Our remortgage advice service is provided free of charge. There is no obligation, and our advisers are available to discuss your options at a time that suits you.

Quick Process

You could start the remortgage process up to 6 months before your current deal expires. Our advisers aim to make the process as straightforward as possible, though timescales may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average property price in Preston?

According to HM Land Registry data (January 2026), the average property price in Preston is £188,987. Detached homes average £336,349, semi-detached £202,635, terraced £145,057, and flats £102,604. Prices have increased by 5.2% over the past year.

When should I start looking to remortgage?

It is generally advisable to start exploring remortgage options around 3 to 6 months before your current deal ends. Many lenders allow you to secure a new rate in advance, which could protect you against potential rate increases while you wait for your current deal to expire.

Will I have to pay early repayment charges (ERCs)?

Early repayment charges may apply if you remortgage before your current deal period ends. The amount varies by lender and product. It is important to check your existing mortgage terms or speak to an adviser who can help you weigh up whether any ERCs are outweighed by potential savings from a new deal.

Can I release equity when I remortgage?

Yes, if your property has increased in value or you have paid down a significant portion of your mortgage, you may be able to borrow additional funds when you remortgage. This is subject to the new lender’s affordability assessment and criteria.

Do I need a solicitor to remortgage?

Yes, legal work is required when remortgaging to a new lender. However, many lenders offer free legal services as part of their remortgage package, which could reduce the cost of switching. Your adviser can let you know which deals include this benefit.

How much could I save by remortgaging?

Potential savings will depend on your current rate, the new rate available to you, and your outstanding mortgage balance. In some cases, homeowners have saved several hundred pounds per month by moving from an SVR to a competitive fixed rate. Your adviser can provide a personalised comparison.

Can I remortgage with bad credit?

Remortgaging with adverse credit history may still be possible, though the options available and rates offered could be more limited. Some specialist lenders consider applications from borrowers with CCJs, defaults, or missed payments. An adviser can help assess your options based on your individual circumstances.
