How much could you save by re-mortgaging?
Homeowners whose fixed rate mortgage deal has ended could save hundreds by just re-mortgaging!
When a fixed mortgage deal ends, you are usually automatically put onto the lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which can cost borrowers more each month in repayments than if they actually re-mortgaged onto a new fixed rate deal.
Here are some examples to show you the savings when switched:-
How much could you save re-mortgaging with 40% equity in your home?
If a homeowner owned 40% equity in their home, they would look for a mortgage deal at 60% Loan to Value (LTV).
• The average SVR currently stands at 4.41%*
• The average two year fixed rate at 60% LTV is 1.67%*
• The average five year fixed rate at 60% LTV is 1.90%*
With a property valued at £250,000, mortgage borrowers looking to re-mortgage at a 60% LTV would be looking to borrow £150,000.
Using a mortgage repayment calculator, you can calculate that if this borrower was on the average SVR on a mortgage term of 20 years, they would be paying £941.70 per month.
If they re-mortgaged onto a two year fixed rate deal at the average rate of 1.67%, this borrower would pay £735.61 per month in repayment, a reduction of £206.09 per month.
If this borrower were to re-mortgage on a five year fixed deal at the average rate of 1.90%, they would pay £751.74 each month in repayment, a reduction of £189.96 per month.
How much you could save re-mortgaging with 25% equity in your home?
Those homeowners who own 25% equity in their home would look for a mortgage deal at 75% LTV.
• With a two year fixed rate average at 75% LTV, which is currently at 2.29%
• With a five year fixed rate average at 75% LTV, which is currently at 2.49%
If your property is valued at £250,000, a homeowner would look to re-mortgage at a 75% LTV, borrowing £187,500.
On the average SVR of 4.41% and a mortgage term of 20 years, repayments on the average SVR would be £1,177.13 per month.
Re-mortgaging onto a two year fixed deal at 75% LTV at the average rate detailed above, repayments would be £974.50 per month.
If the homeowner re-mortgaged onto a five year fixed deal at 75% LTV at the average rate detailed above, it would make their monthly repayments of £992.65, a reduction of £184.48 each month.
