When your broadband or phone contract rolled over at a higher price, you would switch. So why are so many homeowners doing nothing about their mortgage?
Switching your mortgage isn’t moving house, it’s just changing the loan behind it.
You:
- Keep your home and your address
- Move to a lender offering sharper rates and better features
- Save thousands over the remaining term
Rates change, banks update pricing, new cashback and green offers appear… but your mortgage stays exactly where it is unless you nudge it. Doing nothing is still a decision and it’s usually the expensive one.
What switching today can mean for you:
Small numbers add up quietly and a fraction of a percent off your rate can:
- Cut your monthly repayment
- Reduce the total interest you pay
- Let you shorten your term without increasing your payment
For some, switching also means:
- Cashback you can ringfence for savings, renovations or a rainy day fund
- Better overpayment options so you can attack the balance when life (and income) allows
- Products that match where you are now, not where you were 5, 10 or 15 years ago
Think of it as giving your mortgage a “software update” instead of running on an old version forever.
More control, less guesswork
Most households feel the squeeze but are not sure where to start. A switching review:
- Shows you what you could realistically save
- Stops you assuming your current bank is “grand” by default
- Helps you compare fixed vs variable, term lengths, cashback and flexibility properly
Lower repayments do not just feel nice, they free up monthly cash for goals that actually excite you: bigger emergency fund, future move, home upgrades or simply a bit more breathing room.
