Remortgage

Applying for a Remortgage

Online mortgages are provided by NatWest which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority. Royal Bank of Scotland may receive a fee based on a percentage of any mortgage entered into for this referral.  NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland mortgages are available to over 18s. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Your steps to remortgaging

  1. 1

    Find out how much your property is worth

    An estate agent can give you an evaluation, or you can get a rough idea of value by looking up the selling price of similar properties in your area. Then you can use our calculators to see how much we might be able to lend you.

     

  2. 2

    Check how much is left to pay on your mortgage

    Look at the latest mortgage statement you received from your current mortgage provider to see how much is left to pay. Here’s some good news: move your mortgage to us and we'll pay your valuation and legal fees. (Exclusions apply.)

     

  3. 3

    See if there are any outstanding charges 

    Your current provider might ask for an Early Repayment Charge (ERC). ERCs are usually calculated as a percentage of the outstanding balance left to pay off. This could be thousands of pounds. Check your paperwork to see if it applies. 

    Also, many lenders will charge an exit fee for closing your mortgage account with them, even if you are outside an introductory deal. These tend to be between £50 and £300.

    If you haven't yet thought about how you will pay off your current mortgage early, read our mortgage repayment guide.

     

  4. 4

    Compare our mortgage rates

    Enter a few details into our mortgage rate calculator and we’ll show you all the RBS mortgages that could be right for you, based on what you've told us.

    Thinking of borrowing more? No problem, it's easy to vary the amounts in the calculator.

     

  5. 5

    Get an indicative decision 

    Get a personalised indication of how much you could borrow with an Agreement in Principle.

    This isn't a firm decision, but it's the most accurate result you can get without performing a full credit check. It takes less than 10 minutes and won't impact your credit score.

What you need to know

We don’t currently offer remortgages on multi-party (three or more applicants) or guarantor mortgages. All of our remortgage products are on a capital and interest basis only.

Credit checks

About soft and full credit checks

When you apply for an Agreement in Principle, we'll need to do a “soft credit check”. But don’t worry, this won’t affect your credit score. If you go on to apply for a remortgage, we'll do a full credit check, which will show up on your credit file.
