Remortgage
A Clearer Way to Remortgage
Remortgaging could help you save money, release funds, or switch to a deal that better fits your situation. At LA Mortgage Services, we make the process clear and straightforward.

Why Remortgage?
- Get a Better Rate – Switching to a new deal could reduce your monthly payments.
- Release Equity – If your home’s gone up in value, you could access funds for home improvements or big expenses.
- Consolidate Debts – We’ll explain the pros and cons clearly, so you can decide what’s right for you.
- Adjust Your Term – Shorten your mortgage to pay it off faster or extend it to ease your monthly costs.
Consolidating debt may reduce your outgoings now, but you may end up paying more overall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Finding the right mortgage can feel overwhelming, and it’s completely normal to have questions along the way. To help make things clearer, I’ve put together answers to some of the questions I’m asked most often. If you ever want to talk things through in more detail, I’m always here to help.
What deposit do I need to buy my first home?
Most first-time buyers can start with a 5% deposit, although a larger deposit can help access better rates. I can give you a clear idea of what’s realistic based on your situation.
How much can I borrow for a mortgage?
This depends on your income, outgoings and the lender’s criteria. I’ll help you understand your borrowing range before you start viewing properties.
Can I get a mortgage if I’m self-employed?
Yes, many lenders support self-employed applicants. You’ll usually need to provide recent accounts or tax returns, and I can guide you through what’s required.
When should I start looking at remortgaging?
Most people review their options 3–6 months before their current rate ends. This helps you avoid moving to a higher variable rate and keeps your payments predictable.
How does the remortgage process work?
It involves reviewing your current deal, comparing new options, and applying for a new product if switching makes sense. I’ll manage the steps and keep things simple throughout.
Do I need a mortgage advisor, or can I go straight to a lender?
You can go direct, but you’ll only see that lender’s products. As a broker, I compare options across multiple lenders and explain everything in clear, simple terms.
Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage as a first-time landlord?
Yes, many lenders offer buy-to-let options for new investors. I’ll help you understand what lenders look for and how the process works.
Where do you provide mortgage and protection advice?
I support clients across Warwickshire, including Leamington Spa, Warwick, Nuneaton, Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon. Appointments can be online, by phone or in person, and I’m happy to help clients from further afield too.
