At a time when everything’s changing so quickly and there is a lot of uncertainty, we can appreciate that financial worries may be a concern to many.

One of these areas may be your mortgage or buy-to-let mortgage if you’re a Landlord.  Many lenders are trying to help by offering payment holidays and our recent blog gives some valuable insight and resources in relation to this (link here).

In April, over £20bn worth of mortgages will come to the end of their special rate (source: Mortgage Solutions in January 2020) and revert to the more expensive standard variable rate.  This is effectively the busiest month this year for mortgage maturities and could mean a lot of people are looking to remortgage and get back on a lower rate.  

This will lead to a lot of questions, especially at a time with so much uncertainty and so you may have questions such as:

• Am I permitted to remortgage? 

• Am I able to get through and discuss options with my mortgage lender when there are unprecedented call volumes?  

• Do I need someone on behalf of the lender to visit my property to assess what it’s worth?  

• Will I have to simply go onto my lender’s Standard Variable Rate until things improve?  

• If I’m self-employed, will I even get a mortgage now?
