Shop around for mortgage interest rates. Banks are offering attractive products these days especially about mortgage interest rates. Also included in the attractive products are the incentives that go with some of these products. Some banks offer cash back however other banks are offering to pay a contribution towards the cost of switching. In some cases, borrowers may be getting more in the contribution than they are paying in costs. Could you get a lower rate by switching? Will a different bank contribute to the cost of switching? You should find out what interest rate you are paying and if you can get a cheaper rate elsewhere. That said you should also find out what type of rate you are paying because if it is a fixed rate there may be a penalty for breaking from a fixed rate early. However, in the long run it might be better to take the penalty and make the savings in the long run. Think about re-mortgaging and switching rates and banks. Shop around for mortgage interest rates. Talk to us about re-mortgaging.

Switching your mortgage means taking out a new mortgage with a new bank and using this to repay the existing mortgage. Local Solicitor can guide you through the mortgage switching process.

The steps involved is switching your mortgage

 

  1. Contact your mortgage broker or go directly to the financial institutes to find out what mortgage deals are available to you.
  2. Once you decide which bank you will switch your mortgage to Local Solicitor will take up your title deeds from the bank you are leaving. This is done by authorising Local Solicitor to obtain the title deeds from the bank.
  3. Once your new bank has formally approved your switch, the bank will send you a formal Letter of Offer setting out the terms and conditions of the loan. The bank will also issue a Loan Pack to Local Solicitor this will contain the mortgage documents.
  4. On receipt of the Loan Pack Local Solicitor will arrange for you to attend our office to sign the necessary authority to allow us to act on your behalf. We will go through the loan offer in detail to confirm that the rates and terms of the loan offer are exactly those which you have agreed with your new bank. Once you are satisfied with the terms and conditions, we will arrange for you to sign Loan Offer.
  5. We will write to the bank to obtain redemption figures this will allow us to ascertain the outstanding balance on your existing mortgage.
  6. Once all the necessary documentation is signed, Local Solicitor will request the funds from your new bank. Local Solicitor will arrange to discharge this mortgage from the proceeds of your new mortgage.
  7. Local Solicitor will then arrange to register the mortgage with the Property Registration Authority.
  8. Once the mortgage is registered Local Solicitor will forward the title deeds to your new Bank where they will be held until the mortgage is repaid or you switch your mortgage to another Bank.
