Is your mortgage deal ending soon? Here's what most homeowners don't realise until it's too late.
When your fixed rate expires, your lender automatically moves you onto their Standard Variable Rate — the SVR. It sounds routine. It's anything but.
The SVR can sit considerably higher than a new fixed deal, and every month you stay on it is a month you could be overpaying. The thing is, your lender has no incentive to tell you that.
The good news? You don't need to wait for your deal to end before you start looking. Acting a few months ahead gives you the time to compare properly, apply without rushing, and avoid landing on SVR at all.
A mortgage broker searches the market on your behalf, including deals that never appear on comparison sites, and handles the process so you don't have to.
