Becoming Who You Want To Be

First let me tell you the definition of remortgage, it is paying off your current mortgage with a new mortgage from a new mortgage company, also known as refinancing.

Just because the interest rates are down and everyone else is remortgaging, doesn’t mean it is the right time for you to remortgage. There is more to consider than just interest rates.

Remortgaging gives you new a new interest rate and in most cases a longer loan term, which may cost you more later. There are many costs relating to a refinance which may not be favorable for you at this time.

There are many things to look at when deciding if a new mortgage is right for you, such as adjustable rates, fixed rate, pre payment penalty, mortgage insurance, interest rate, points, and much more. You must know all the costs associated with the new loan to determine if you should remortgage now or not.

Your mortgage broker should take the time to go over your current loan with you (if they wont then find a different broker), have them show you what your current loan is costing you if you do nothing different. Ask them to show you a couple different scenarios, one is how much it would cost for the life of the loan and the other is for a shorter term such as the length of time you plan on staying in the house or the length of time before you refinance again for some other reason.

Once you have the figures on your current loan then you are ready to start looking at other loans. Have your mortgage broker start looking for other mortgage quotes so you can compare. When they have the best mortgage deals they can find sit down with them and go over your same scenarios to see what the cost of the new loan is going to be. With this new information you are now ready to decide if a remortgage is right for you.

You don?t have to go with the first mortgage broker that comes along. There are thousands of mortgage companies, many our licensed in your state. Mortgage brokers work for you and they work on commission, so make sure they are spending the necessary time you need to understand the benefits of your new loan.

Never pay any upfront fees for a mortgage broker to take your application and process your loan. If they are trying charge you a upfront fee run the other way.
