Remortgage 2021

Hi,
Time has flown its remortgage year! Currently with subprime lender due to partners credit history and hoping to move to a high street lending on remortgage. LTV is 75% and no additional borrowing. 
What do we need to prepare for remortgage and how soon can we lock in the offer?

    @nattybuk Most mortgage offers now come with 6 months validity so you could time it based on that. Like for like remo at 75% LTV is a good place to start with, hopefully you'll be able to move to a much better rate. Good luck!

    Go and see a mortgage broker who can help you with this !
    Yes you have 75%ltv but with past credit history they will help you find a high street lender.

    When does your fixed period end? 
    When ready I would suggest contacting a broker to find you best deal for you

  • It’s in August so a while to go. Also on the valuation do we have to get an estate agent to value or take an online estimate?

    @nattybuk In that case you could start looking around February/March. You don't really need an EA valuation, in any case the new lender will do its own valuation of the property.
