Have you thought about your re-mortgage options?
Recent consumer research carried out by Legal & General Mortgage Club, found that 41% of respondents were considering not re-mortgaging, and instead staying with their existing lender and accepting the switch to a Standard Variable Rate (SVR).
So why are people opting to stay? The research uncovered these reasons:
- Having debt
- Being financially impacted by Covid-19
- Worried about lenders scrutinising their finances
- Economic uncertainty
*But did you know that switching to an SVR could mean facing up to a £2,500 annual increase in repayments?
