Fixed running out - when apply for new mortgage?

Hi

We are on a fixed rate mortgage which runs out in August. Any advice on how soon we should start the process of applying for a new fixed mortgage. Can you apply in advance and effectively hold the mortgage offer if you have seen a deal that interests you?

We are looking for another 5 year (ish) fixed and need to borrow around 75%.

Any help / advice gratefully received.

Regards

    Personnally I contact my clients 3 and a half months before their deal ends to discuss a remortgage. If there is need to do anything it can be started almost straight away as most remortgage offers last 3 months.
