Remortgage or Not Remortgage

What does remortgage mean? It means to pay off your existing mortgage with a new loan from a different mortgage company, can also be called refinancing.

Just because the interest rates are down and everyone else is remortgaging, doesn’t mean it is the right time for you to remortgage. There is more to consider than just interest rates.

When you remortgage you will get new loan terms and a new interest rate, but they are not always more favorable. The costs associated with a refinance could be your deciding factor.

There are many things to look at when deciding if a new mortgage is right for you, such as adjustable rates, fixed rate, pre payment penalty, mortgage insurance, interest rate, points, and much more. You must know all the costs associated with the new loan to determine if you should remortgage now or not.

Your mortgage broker should take the time to go over your current loan with you (if they wont then find a different broker), have them show you what your current loan is costing you if you do nothing different. Ask them to show you a couple different scenarios, one is how much it would cost for the life of the loan and the other is for a shorter term such as the length of time you plan on staying in the house or the length of time before you refinance again for some other reason.

You now know what your current loan is costing you, if you do nothing different. Ask your loan broker to find the best mortgage deals they can and after they have them, go visit with them again and compare the new mortgage quotes with your current loan. Be sure to use the same examples so you get accurate information. With this information you are now ready to decide if you should remortgage now or wait to move or refinance.

Mortgage brokers are a dime a dozen, but finding a good one that will spend quality time with you is another thing. There are thousands of mortgage companies all across the country, many our licensed in your state. Make sure you are comfortable with the one you decide to go with.

You should not pay any upfront processing fees. If your broker is requiring a fee to take your application find a new broker.
