Remortgage

What is a Remortgage?

Remortgaging is the process of getting a new mortgage on a property you already own, whether that is to either replace your existing mortgage or to borrow money against your property. 

It is a way of providing homeowners with an opportunity to unlock value in their property through an equity release or to change their existing mortgage to obtain better rates.

How long does Remortgaging take?

With Leon Kaye, we strive to ensure your remortgage transaction is as straightforward and simple as possible. However, the overall amount of time of remortgaging is dependent on the circumstances.
