Getting your head around re-mortgage terms and jargon

The term " re-mortgage " is a scary one for many people. Questions abound about whether it is a safe thing to do, whether it is affordable, if it can be done, and what are the loopholes in terms of the lender. With all these questions many may shy away from re-mortgaging their houses. These are not silly worries. They are real concerns. After all, you have worked really hard for your house or flat and you want to keep it and know you can afford to pay of the mortgage. The best way to know if a re-mortgage is for you is to seek expert mortgage advice. The kind of re-mortgage advice you seek is also an important factor to keep in mind; jargon is everywhere. This is probably one of the major reasons people may find themselves with unexpected hidden costs and horrifying bills that could have been avoided had you been helped in the right way.
 
So, what are important terms to keep in mind when it comes to making the decision to re-mortgage?  Heard about a "redemption charge" ? Well basically this means the possible charge you may get for paying back your mortgage early.  The annual percentage rate also known as APR stands for the overall cost for comparison which allows you to compare like for like. This means that you get to understand how much of the yearly mortgage fee affects the loan, therefore how much you are paying off each year. It includes all costs including increasing interest rates on your loan. When you re-mortgage you may want to know how much you currently owe, as a new mortgage may not be cheaper than the one you have already. This is known as a " redemption quote ". Just remember that some lenders will charge a small fee to give you this information. Another very important term in re-mortgaging is to consider your loan-to-value rate. This is the amount you want to borrow compared to the value of your house.
