More than one million homeowners could face higher mortgage payments when their two-year fixed rates end. Reviewing your options early may help you avoid automatically moving onto an SVR.

Research reported by Mortgage Strategy suggests borrowers moving onto their lender’s Standard Variable Rate after a two-year fixed deal ends could face a potential average increase of around £283 per month. The actual impact will depend on your mortgage, lender and circumstances.

It’s worth checking:
• When your current deal ends
• Whether early repayment charges apply
• What product-transfer choices your lender offers
• Whether reviewing other options is appropriate for you

There’s no need to feel pressured or make decisions alone. Pop into GKL Mortgage Brokers on Hermitage Road, Hitchin, or get in touch for a friendly, no-obligation chat.

Think you need a 20% deposit or a perfect credit score? You may be ruling yourself out before you apply.

Research from Lloyds found that 58% of prospective first-time buyers wrongly thought existing debt would stop them being approved, while 37% believed a 20% deposit was essential.

An overdraft, receiving benefits, a recent job change, an imperfect credit history or being self-employed may not automatically rule you out. Lenders look at affordability and your individual circumstances.

This doesn’t guarantee mortgage approval, but it’s worth getting tailored guidance before making assumptions. Don’t rule yourself out before you apply.

We’re here for a friendly, no-obligation chat at GKL Mortgage Brokers on Hermitage Road, Hitchin. Give us a call or pop into the office : we’ll help you understand your options.

If your fixed-rate mortgage is ending this year, reviewing your options early could give you more control.

An early review can help you understand your choices, check what may be available and prepare for your next mortgage deal. Rates and lender criteria can change, so starting sooner may give you more time to consider your options: but it cannot guarantee a better rate.

If you’re unsure where to begin, we’re here for a friendly, no-obligation chat. Give us a call or pop into GKL Mortgage Brokers on Hermitage Road, Hitchin.

Managing multiple credit cards, personal loans, or other unsecured debts can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when payments are scattered across different dates and interest rates. A debt consolidation mortgage scheme involves rolling these various outgoings into your mortgage, potentially simplifying your monthly finances and lowering your immediate monthly commitments. While this can reduce day-to-day financial pressure, it is important to carefully consider long-term factors, such as paying interest over a longer term and the impact on your overall mortgage borrowing. Every financial situation is unique, and we are here to help you weigh up the pros and cons clearly and transparently. If you would like a friendly, no-obligation chat about your options, pop into our Hitchin office on Hermitage Road or give us a call. We are always here to help.

Are you noticing a shift in the mortgage market recently? More and more borrowers are opting for 2-year fixed rates over 5-year deals as they look to retain flexibility while waiting for further interest rate movements.

Choosing a shorter-term fix allows you to secure a competitive rate now without locking yourself in for the long haul if market conditions improve. It is all about keeping your options open and reviewing your strategy sooner rather than later.

Curious whether a 2-year fix or something else is right for your next move? We are always here for a friendly, no-obligation chat. Pop into our Hitchin office on Hermitage Road or give our team a call to explore what suits your plans best.

Are you unknowingly paying the loyalty penalty? When a fixed-rate mortgage deal comes to an end, borrowers are automatically rolled onto their lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR): and it's often significantly higher than what's available on the market. Staying loyal could be adding hundreds of pounds to your monthly outgoings without you even realising. The good news is you don't have to wait until the last minute to explore your options. We love helping local homeowners review their upcoming renewals with zero pressure or obligation. Pop into our Hitchin office on Hermitage Road or give our friendly team a call to have a chat about your next steps. Let's make sure your hard-earned money stays in your pocket where it belongs.

The Bank of England has officially held the base rate steady. While this brings a welcome sense of stability, it is easy to assume the mortgage market is pressing pause too.

The reality? Lenders reprice products independently all the time based on wider market conditions and swap rates. Waiting around for the next big shift could mean you miss out on a competitive deal that is right for you today.

Whether you are looking to secure a new fixed rate, considering your remortgage options, or stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, understanding how these movements affect your monthly payments is key.

We would love to help you review your options with a friendly, completely no-obligation chat. Pop into our Hitchin office on Hermitage Road or give our team a call. We are always here to help.

Finding the right home can often feel like a race, but for the first time in over a decade, the pace is shifting in your favour. 🏠

According to Rightmove’s July report, property supply has hit a 12-year high. We haven’t seen this much choice for buyers since 2014! While the summer sun and holiday plans might be a distraction for some, savvy buyers in Hitchin and across the country are finding that more stock on the market means more than just a wider selection: it means better room for negotiation and a chance to find a home that truly fits your needs without the usual pressure.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking to step onto the ladder or an experienced landlord expanding your portfolio, this "supply high" could be the window you’ve been waiting for.

At GKL Mortgage Brokers, we’re here to help you navigate these options with ease. We love chatting through your plans and finding the right financing to match your next move. Why not pop into our office on Hermitage Road for a no-obligation chat? We’ll put the kettle on and help you figure out your next steps in this busy market.
