The interest you save covers the £1,500 of costs after 10 months. That’s within the 5 years you’d keep the new deal.

Before you switch

  • Your current lender’s product transfer usually has no legal or valuation costs. Compare it with other lenders’ deals.
  • You can usually book a new deal up to 6 months before your fixed rate ends, so you don’t slip onto the standard variable rate.
Assumptions in this estimate
  • Both rates stay the same for the whole period. The saving counts interest and costs only: paying the loan off faster isn’t a cost, as that money becomes your home equity.
  • Interest is worked out monthly.

How the calculator works

  1. Your mortgage now: what you owe, the years left and your rate.
  2. The new deal: its rate, the fees (and any early repayment charge), and how long it’s fixed for.
  3. Result: what you’d save in interest after fees over the deal, your new payment, and when the fees are earned back.

Example

£200,000 left over 22 years, moving from 5.6% to 4.6% with £1,500 of fees:

Stay Remortgage
Monthly payment £1,319 £1,206
Interest over 5 years £52,504 £42,787
Fees £0 £1,500
Saving after fees £8,217

The fees are earned back after 10 months.

Before you switch

  • Compare the total cost: a deal with a low rate and a big fee can cost more than a slightly higher rate with no fee, especially on a small mortgage.
  • Adding the fee to the mortgage means paying interest on it for years.
  • Use a fee-free broker if you’re unsure: they can compare most of the market.

Frequently asked questions

When is remortgaging worth it?

When the interest you save over the new deal covers the fees. On £200,000 at 5.6%, moving to 4.6% with £1,500 of fees saves about £8,200 over a 5-year fix.

Should I remortgage or take a product transfer?

A product transfer is a new deal with your current lender: usually quicker, with no legal or valuation costs. Remortgaging to another lender can get a better rate. Compare both, including fees.

What is an early repayment charge?

A fee for leaving a fixed or tracker deal early, often 1% to 5% of what you owe, falling each year. It usually doesn’t apply once the deal ends, so most people switch then.

What happens if I do nothing when my deal ends?

You move to your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), which is usually much higher. You can usually book a new deal up to 6 months before your current one ends.
