How to use our remortgage repayment calculator

Before you can make use of our remortgage calculator, you’ll need a few key pieces of information to hand.

To use our remortgage calculator and find out how much can I borrow, you’ll need:

• The loan amount: either the remaining balance on your existing mortgage if switching.
• Property value of your home or property.
• The remaining term, in years, on your mortgage, or the term you plan to apply for
• Repayment type: (actual or desired), i.e. interest only or repayment

Once you’ve used all these values to populate the calculator, it should be able to give you some useful insights into how much your repayments will be and if remortgaging will offer a better deal than you already have.

Don’t forget that any information provided to you by a mortgage calculator are for illustration purposes only, and while they can be useful tools for helping you to budget, they shouldn’t be treated as 100% accurate as every lender’s own way of calculating things is unique.

For a more accurate picture, we recommend speaking to one of the expert brokers we work with who can factor in all your individual circumstances and priorities.

How does location affect remortgage calculations?

There are a number of factors that can affect remortgage calculations.

It’s a cliché, but location, location, location holds true, especially as in many instances, the land is often more valuable than the home that sits on it.

The closer the property is to amenities such as shops, schools, restaurants and transport links, the more ‘sellable’ the property is, which means lenders are more likely to get a return on their investment if things go wrong.

Other factors to consider would be, is the property –

• In a flood zone?
• Close to an industrial site?
• Hard to reach? (ie, unmade or rural roads)
• In a rural area?

All of these factors can affect a remortgage and will not be taken into account by a remortgage calculator in the UK, so you will need to speak to a broker who is an expert in this area, like the ones we work with.

Is there a remortgage equity release calculator?

Equity release is a little more complicated than a straight remortgage. It all depends on how much equity you have in your many factors that a calculator may not be able to take into account, such as –

• How much equity you have in your home
• Your age (typically you need to be 60, but some lenders accept younger applicants)
• Do you have dependants who you would like to be able to inherit your property? (equity release can reduce the value of your estate)

Most lenders will allow you to borrow up to 50% of your home’s value, and you can release the equity as either a lump sum or regular payments.

Either way, you should talk with one of the expert advisors we work with for the right advice, or check out our article on equity release calculators here.

How do remortgage lenders calculate LTV?

Simply put, LTV or Loan to Value, is the difference between the value of the property and the size of your mortgage.

Here are some examples –

The above table is for comparative purposes only. You should talk to your lender or broker for the most up-to-date information for your circumstances

When it comes to working out your loan to value (LTV) for the purposes of remortgaging, divide your outstanding mortgage amount by your properties value and then multiply by 100.

So if you have a £150,000 mortgage on a property worth £250,000, your LTV would be 60%.
