Is your mortgage fixed rate coming to an end?

Your mortgage deal is likely one of your biggest financial commitments, so it's essential to ensure you're on the best terms possible. When your current mortgage deal is coming to an end, you generally have two main options: a product transfer with your existing lender or a remortgage to a new lender. Both have their advantages, and understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision.
________________________________________
Product Transfer: Staying with Your Existing Lender
A product transfer means you're switching to a new mortgage product offered by your current lender. It's often the simpler and quicker option, and here's why:
• No Legal Costs: A significant benefit is that you typically won't incur legal fees. Since you're staying with the same lender, there's no need for new conveyancing work to transfer the mortgage deed. If you choose this route, we can complete the swap for you at no cost.
• Less Paperwork & Faster Process: Product transfers generally involve less paperwork and often don't require new affordability checks or property valuations (unless your circumstances have significantly changed or you want to borrow more). This means the process can be much quicker, sometimes completed in a matter of days or weeks.
• Simplicity: It's a hassle-free way to secure a new rate without going through a full application process.
However, the main drawback of a product transfer is that you're limited to the deals your existing lender offers. These might not always be the most competitive rates available across the wider market.
________________________________________
Remortgage: Switching to a New Lender
Remortgaging involves moving your mortgage to a different lender. This process pays off your old mortgage with a new one from a new provider.
• Access to Better Deals: The primary advantage of remortgaging is that it allows you to explore the entire mortgage market. This means you have a far greater chance of finding a lower interest rate, more flexible terms, or a deal that better suits your current financial situation. If your property value has increased, you might also be eligible for better loan-to-value (LTV) rates.
• Borrowing More: If you want to release equity from your home for purposes like home improvements or debt consolidation, a remortgage is usually the way to do it.
• Tailored Solutions: With access to a wider range of products, you can find a mortgage that truly aligns with your long-term financial goals.
While remortgaging can offer greater savings over the long term, it typically involves more steps and fees:
• Legal Fees: As you're switching lenders, legal work is required to transfer the mortgage.
• Valuation Fees: The new lender will usually require a valuation of your property.
• Application/Arrangement Fees: New lenders may charge fees to set up your mortgage.

Navigating the homebuying process
Buying a home is an exciting prospect, but it can also come with stresses. From property hunting through to moving day, there is a lot to consider during the process.

The impact on wellbeing

According to research from Barratt Homes, 60% of UK homeowners said that the homebuying process took a toll on their mental wellbeing. An additional 35% experienced disrupted sleep, while 29% reported that their sense of financial security was impacted. The survey found that legal or conveyancing delays were the biggest source of stress, with 43% of respondents identifying this as a challenge. More than a third (37%) said that they were stressed due to a deal falling through or nearly falling through and 29% had challenges finding a suitable property.

If you too are feeling stressed by the homebuying process, here are some top tips to help the journey feel more manageable.

Expect the unexpected

There is a lot of uncertainty that comes with buying a home - it can be hard to predict exactly when you will be able to move, particularly if you are part of a chain. It’s therefore advisable to expect delays so that you don’t feel disappointed if the legal process takes longer than anticipated.

Try not to cut costs

We understand that buying is a very expensive process. During this time, you might be cautious about your spending in other aspects of your life, so that you can save money where you can. However, it is important not to skip over certain parts of the homebuying process, as this could cost you more further down the line. For example, it may feel like getting a house survey is an avoidable expense, but this vital step highlights any issues with the property that could be costly to repair. Identifying these defects at an early stage may prompt you to renegotiate the purchase price, budget for repairs or even change your mind about buying the property.

A step at a time

It can be overwhelming to think about the whole homebuying process, so take it a step at a time rather than worrying about moving day before you’ve even placed an offer. That will allow you to focus on what you need to do right now, like attend a viewing or make a mortgage application. It can also help to store all important paperwork, emails and online documents in one place, so the information is easily accessible.

Remember why you’re doing it

If you’re ever feeling frustrated, remind yourself of the end result. Make sure to celebrate the small milestones, because each step takes you closer to collecting your keys and moving into your new home.

You don’t have to navigate the homebuying process alone – we can help alleviate the stress and support you every step of the way. Call 01302613302 or whatsapp 01302 613302

Homes rising in value
Recent research has found that half of UK homes increased in value last year.

According to Zoopla, 15.2 million properties gained value by an average of £9,900 in 2025. Within this group, 3.1 million homes saw particularly strong growth, rising by more than £20,000. In contrast, 9.1 million households saw a decrease in value by an average of £10,800.

In England, the North West recorded the highest proportion of homes rising in value (72%), followed by the North East (67%). The South West reported the largest share of homes losing value (46%), closely followed by the South East (44%).

Despite some areas dropping in value, the longer-term picture is more positive for households across the UK; between 2020-2025, the average seller saw their house increase in value by an average of 20%.

What’s happening to the mortgage market?
The mortgage market is facing uncertainty due to ongoing developments in the Middle East.

Affordability challenges had been easing slightly in recent months - mortgage rates were slowly coming down due to cuts to Bank Rate. In January 2026, the average monthly mortgage payment was 7% lower than the previous year.

However, the recent outbreak of war in Iran has made the short-term outlook much more uncertain. At the start of March, 472 residential mortgage products were taken off the market within a 48-hour period, in response to rising swap rates. This trend continued throughout the month, with a fifth of overall mortgage deals removed from the market by 21 March. First-time buyers have been hit particularly badly – they may notice that rates are higher on low-deposit deals.

Adam French at Moneyfacts commented, “It’s unwelcome news for borrowers, as the prospect of falling mortgage rates has quickly given way to rate rises. How far they could go is now heavily dependent on how global markets and inflation expectations evolve as conflict in the Middle East unfolds.”

The UK’s fastest-rising house prices
Research from Rightmove has identified the UK towns that recorded the strongest house price growth last year.

The list was largely dominated by towns in Scotland and the north of England. Hawick in the Scottish Borders saw the biggest annual rise, with prices increasing by 18% in 2025. Durham followed with a 15% increase, while Stannington in Sheffield saw prices grow by 12%.

Across the 50 locations with the fastest-growing house prices, the average property value was £270,711, 26% lower than the national average of £368,031. In fact, 43 of the 50 fastest-growing towns had prices below the national average. This emphasises the growing trend that more affordable areas are experiencing the strongest price growth.

Life insurance vs income protection
Do you know the difference between life insurance and income protection?

Life insurance
Life insurance pays out a lump sum to your loved ones if you die during the policy term. You could either be covered for a fixed length of time (such as 10 or 25 years), or for the whole of your life. It’s sensible to get cover if you have any dependents because life insurance could help them to stay living in your home if you pass away.

Income protection
Income protection provides a portion of your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. The insurer will make monthly payments to you until either the term ends, you die or return to work. There will usually be a waiting period before you can start receiving payments.

Income protection is recommended if you would struggle to cover essential living expenses if you were unable to work - for example, if you are self-employed, have limited savings or are the sole earner in your household.

Do I need both?
Income protection provides you with support during your lifetime, while life insurance safeguards your family in the event of your death. Both policies can offer peace of mind that you and your loved ones will be protected in times of need.

Call or Whatsapp 01302 613302

As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.

Borrowers favour a shorter fixed rate period
Data from the Bank of England shows that UK borrowers are currently favouring two-year fixed-rate deals.

In Q2 of this year, half of new mortgages were two-year deals, with only 35% opting for five-year terms. Borrowers are probably hoping to remortgage to a cheaper deal if Bank Rate keeps falling over the next two years. This marks a change in attitude since 2022 - interest rates were beginning to rise, so buyers were hoping to keep mortgage costs low by choosing a five-year fixed deal.

A longer mortgage deal is still worth considering, despite hopes that interest rates will ease in the coming years. Analysts do not anticipate mortgage rates to fall to the record lows seen in 2021; instead, they expect that mortgage rates will settle at a higher level, potentially around 3.5%. Also, potential cuts to Bank Rate are taken into consideration when pricing fixed rate mortgages, so some experts believe that current rates are the best that we will get for a while.

Deciding on your next move? It’s essential to seek advice so you can make an informed decision about the mortgage deal that’s right for you. Call or Whatsapp 01302 613302 and speak to Chris
