With over 60 years of combined experience, we help homeowners across Fife find the right remortgage for their needs.

Understanding Remortgages

A remortgage is when you switch your existing mortgage to a new deal — either with your current lender or a different one. It’s a smart financial move that can help you save money, access better rates, or release equity from your home.
You might consider a remortgage if:

  • Your fixed-rate deal is ending soon.
  • You want to release cash for home improvements or investments.
  • You’re looking to consolidate debts.
  • You want to switch from interest-only to repayment.

At Empire Mortgages, we’ll review your current deal, explore the market, and handle the entire process from start to finish — ensuring you get the best outcome possible.

Reasons to Consider a Remortgage

Remortgaging can be a great way to improve your financial position. Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners choose to remortgage:

Secure a better interest rate – avoid being moved to your lender’s higher standard variable rate.

Reduce monthly repayments – save money every month with a more competitive deal.

Release equity – unlock funds from your property for renovations, investments, or other financial goals.

Consolidate debts – combine multiple repayments into one affordable mortgage.

Switch mortgage type – move from an interest-only to a repayment mortgage for long-term stability.

Our experienced advisers can help you understand which option is right for your circumstances and how much you could save.

Savings depend on your current rate, remaining term, and new deal. Many homeowners save hundreds of pounds per month.

Can I remortgage if my credit score has changed?

Yes. Even if your credit score has improved or declined, we can explore suitable options across different lenders.

What fees are involved in remortgaging?

There may be valuation, legal, or early repayment fees depending on your lender. We’ll break down all potential costs upfront.

Can I remortgage to release equity from my home?

Yes – equity release through remortgaging allows you to access funds for renovations, investments, or personal financial goals.
