Lenders are businesses and like a business, they need to attract new customers. They can do this by offering very attractive rates for a limited time period. These are called introductory rates, in the UK these generally last about two to five years. After the introductory period has ended, the mortgage will continue on the lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). At this point borrowers have essentially three options; To stay on the SVR, remortgage with their existing lender or remortgage with a new lender. Although there is the potential to make healthy savings by remortgage, it’s worth remembering that there are also costs involved. As you are essentially taking out a new mortgage, you will be looking at paying the same sort of fees as you did when you first brought your home. Specifically, your home will need to be properly revalued and there will be legal paperwork that will be processed. It is possible that your lender will charge you a fee for closing off the mortgage earlier than originally planned. Stay on the SVR makes perfect sense if the costs of setting up a new mortgage outweigh the savings that you will make.
The main reason why people remortgage is to get a lower interest rate to then save a lot of money by not having to pay as much interest. If you are self-employed you will still be able to remortgage, all you will have to do is provide extra information.
