Trusted Remortgaging Specialists
Expert advice to help you secure better rates and maximize your mortgage savings.

SERVICE
Moving home?
Lock & Key Mortgages is a fully independent mortgage brokerage, granting us access to the entire UK intermediary lender market. Our dedicated in house team is committed to assisting you throughout your remortgaging process, ensuring a seamless experience from application to completion.
You can count on us for regular updates and unwavering support every step of the way.
If your current mortgage agreement is coming to an end, remortgaging might be the right choice for you. By actively seeking a better deal, you have the potential to save substantial amounts over the entire duration of your mortgage.
This could result in lower monthly payments or a considerable reduction in the remaining loan term.

WHY TO CHOOSE US
Why you should consider remortgage deals.
Similar to how you regularly review your utility and other bills to ensure you’re getting the best rates, it’s equally important to keep a close watch on your mortgage to avoid overpaying.
Typically, when you initially secure a mortgage, you benefit from a fixed rate for a set number of years, often ranging from two to five, though sometimes longer. Once this initial period ends, you transition to the lender’s standard variable rate which is usually higher than your previous rate.
During the initial period they may be an Early Repayment Charge (ERC) associated with changing or refinancing your mortgage. However, this charge typically decreases as you approach the end of the initial period. While moving your mortgage may still be beneficial, it’s crucial to conduct a thorough evaluation to make an informed decision.
You're coming to the end of your initial rate period
As independent mortgage advisers, we are well positioned to secure these rates on your behalf, compare them against the entire market and streamline the application process with minimal fuss.
Simply call us and let’s discover the potential savings we can offer you.
Your property has increased in value
For instance, if you originally purchased a £300,000 house with a £30,000 deposit, your mortgage was £270,000, representing a 90% LTV, which tends to result in higher interest rates..
Now, if the same property appreciates in value to £350,000, your mortgage balance may have actually decreased (factoring in repayments over time, although we’ll overlook that for now)..
With a loan of £270,000 against a more valuable property, your LTV stands at approximately 78%..
This lower LTV typically qualifies you for more favourable mortgage rates.
You may get better remortgage deals by investing your equity
As your LTV decreases, it often leads to more favourable interest rates. However, it’s important to exercise caution.
If you have extra funds to invest in your mortgage, don’t assume that your current mortgage agreement allows for lump sum payments.
There may be penalty clauses that result in additional charges if you overpay.
Our skilled advisers can carefully review the fine print of your existing mortgage to ensure that your money goes towards reducing your debt rather than incurring additional fees.
You are looking for a better rate
Regardless of the circumstances, if your current interest rate seems high in comparison to others, or you simply want to ensure you’re not overspending on interest, don’t hesitate to contact us.
As independent mortgage brokers, we are not tied to a specific set of providers, allowing us to scour the entire market, including exclusive rates that some lenders reserve solely for independent advisers.
Consider this: If you have a £220,000 mortgage with a 30 year term and you reduce your interest rate from 2.04 % to 1.94% (a mere tenth of a percent) you could save over £4,000 in interest payments throughout the life of the loan.
Your job circumstances have changed
If you’ve experienced a reduction in income, life changes like having a child, a job switch or becoming self-employed, it’s possible that your current mortgage arrangement is better for you.
Our advisers will provide you with an assessment of your prospects, helping you make an informed decision.
Your credit rating has fallen
Mortgage lenders are obligated to conduct thorough assessments to ensure that you can comfortably meet the repayment obligations.
If you have a history of missed payments or carry significant credit card or other loan debt, remortgaging may pose challenges, particularly if your home’s equity is limited.
However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t help you. While your options may be more limited compared to those with impeccable financial records, we are here to guide you through the process. We’ll carefully evaluate your circumstances and may suggest alternative approaches you may not have considered.
If you find it challenging to meet any repayment obligations, seeking advice is crucial, as there are always available options to provide assistance.
