If you currently have a fixed rate mortgage you should take note of when the rate comes to an end and be prepared to consider a remortgage.

Doing nothing means your current lender will move you over to their Standard Variable Rate (SVR) this tends to be more expensive with monthly repayments higher when compared to most readily available fixed rate mortgages.

What is a Standard Variable Rate Mortgage
A Standard Variable Rate (SVR) Mortgage also known as a Variable rate mortgage is a lender’s basic mortgage rate. The rate of the mortgage can go up as well as down go down and is partly influenced by movement in the Bank of England base rate. However, a Standard Variable Rate might change even without base rate increases.

Of Course, there are a small number of positive benefits to being on a SVR. The main benefit is that there are often no early repayment charges.

Be an active borrower
