Should I Remortgage Before The End of My Fixed Term?

Thinking of switching your mortgage before your fixed rate ends? You’re not alone. With interest rates changing in 2025, many homeowners are asking: “Can I remortgage before the end of my fixed term — and is it worth it?” Here’s what you need to know before making a move.

Most UK lenders will allow you to remortgage before your fixed rate ends, but doing so often comes with early repayment charges (ERCs). These fees can range from 1% to 5% of your loan balance, depending on how long is left on your deal. That said, early remortgaging can still make sense — if the numbers work out

Why Some People Choose to Remortgage Early

• Take advantage of a better rate before your current deal expires
• Consolidate debt into your mortgage for lower monthly payments
• Lock in a new fixed deal ahead of possible rate rises
• Switch to a more flexible product (e.g. offset or tracker)

Searching for “is it worth remortgaging early UK”? It depends entirely on your mortgage balance, ERC amount, and how much better the new deal is.

What to Watch Out For

• High early exit fees could cancel out savings
• ·You might not qualify for a better rate if your circumstances have changed
• ·Timing is key — too early, and you pay more than you save
• If your current deal is competitive, staying put could be smarter

What We Recommend

In many cases, remortgaging 3–6 months before the end of your fixed term is ideal. Some lenders allow you to secure a new deal in advance — so you avoid the Standard Variable Rate, but don't pay exit fees. Every case is different — and that's where our advice comes in.

Quick Tip:

If your fixed term ends in the next 6–12 months, it’s a great time to review your options — before the best deals disappear.
