Remortgaging and follow-on mortgage advice — Mortgage adviser

An existing borrower may need advice before a current arrangement changes or when considering refinancing. State the country, objective and relevant timing without posting account details; the adviser will need current terms privately to evaluate options and costs.

Service scope

Advice on reviewing an existing mortgage when considering a new arrangement, lender or follow-on deal. Catalogue labels may include both changing lender and continuing with the existing lender, so the intended transaction must be identified before scoping work.

What is normally included

  • Existing-mortgage review
  • Comparison of refinancing routes
  • Agreed remortgage application support

What is not included

  • Automatic recommendation to switch
  • Guaranteed savings
  • Assumed absence of early-exit or transaction costs

Typical tasks

  • Identify the existing arrangement
  • Clarify the refinancing objective
  • Review relevant charges and dates
  • Assess advice and lender-search scope
  • Coordinate agreed application stages

What to include in your brief

  • Country
  • Reason for review
  • Existing-deal timing
  • Same-lender or new-lender question
  • Advice and administration needed

Choosing the right professional

Ask the adviser to compare the relevant costs and consequences of staying or moving rather than assume a lower headline rate makes switching beneficial. Confirm whether the engagement includes lender contact, application administration and any required legal or valuation interfaces.

Important considerations

  • Exit costs can change the apparent benefit
  • A new assessment may be required
  • Market terminology may distinguish product transfer from remortgage
