There was a 12% rise in remortgage instructions in February according to the LMS.
The most popular main aim when remortgaging was to lower monthly payments, cited by 28% of borrowers. The survey by the conveyancing firm says 42% of borrowers increased their loan sizes in February. Popular reasons for increasing mortgage loans was home improvements and to consolidate more expensive debts to a cheaper mortgage rate.
46% of those who remortgaged took out a five-year fixed-rate product, which was the most popular product last month. 45% opted for 2 year fixed rate products. Borrowers are unconvinced about pending rate reductions despite mortgage lenders factoring this in with lower interest rates.
