Don't Wait Until It's Too Late - You Could Start Your Remortgage Up to 9 Months Early
If your mortgage deal is ending in the next few months, here's something most people don't know - you may not need to wait as long as you think to start planning your next one.
Many homeowners put off reviewing their mortgage until the final weeks of their deal. It's understandable; life is busy, and it feels like a problem for future-you. But that delay can quietly cost you money.
The Window Is Wider Than You Think
Most people assume they can only look at remortgaging when their deal is nearly up. Many lenders allow you to secure a new rate up to 6 months in advance, some will go as far as 9 months ahead. That's a significant runway to shop around, compare the market, and lock in a competitive deal without any pressure.
At Endurance Mortgages, we help clients get ahead of their mortgage, not scramble to catch up with it.
What Happens If You Wait Too Long?
When a fixed-rate deal ends and nothing is in place, your lender will typically move you onto their Standard Variable Rate (SVR). SVRs are almost always higher, sometimes significantly so, and they're not something you choose; they're something you fall onto by default.
Beyond the rate itself, leaving things late tends to mean fewer options, less time to make a considered decision, and the very real possibility that the best deals have already gone.
Why Acting Early Actually Works in Your Favour
Securing a rate months before your deal ends doesn't mean you're committing blindly. Here's how it works in practice:
You lock in a rate at today's market conditions for a future start date
Your current deal continues as normal until it ends
If rates improve before your new deal starts, many lenders allow you to revisit and switch to a better option
So, you get the protection of having something secured, with the flexibility to keep an eye on the market.
When Should You Start the Conversation?
As a general guide:
Deal ending within 6 months? You should be acting now
Deal ending within 9 months? Now is a great time to start planning
Deal ending later in the year? It's not too early to have an initial conversation
The earlier you start, the more control you have over the outcome.
