During the opening week of the ⚽ World Cup, we asked our community a simple question:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📊 70% said they're renting
📊 30% said they're owning
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those looking to make the move from renting to owning, what would you consider a 🟥 or a 🟨 card mortgage mistake?

We've shared a few examples below. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵?

‼️ 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼?

If you're one of the 40,000 homeowners 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 this year, you need to read this. Global events and inflation mean the ECB is widely expected to hike interest rates 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 3 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 before the end of the year 👀

If you locked in a low rate when you first bought your home, doing nothing means you're walking straight into a massive "mortgage shock" when your current term expires.

👉 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸: they only have to notify you 8 weeks before your rate ends. By then, the lower rates might be gone. Act early.

👉 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: ask your current lender if there’s a penalty for breaking your fixed rate today rather than waiting. Often, it makes financial sense to break it early.

👉 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 & 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲: banks are offering serious cashback incentives to switch lenders right now. More than enough to cover the legal fees involved in switching.

Don't leave your mortgage sitting there for decades without reviewing it. Take control today and beat the rate hikes.

At 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘢, we compare all the rates on the market to find the smartest move.
