🏠💰 Big news for homeowners! Financial whiz Martin Lewis is sending out an urgent warning: do nothing about your fixed-rate mortgage ending, and you could be staring down an extra £300 a month. 😳
With a whopping 1.8 million fixed-rate mortgages coming to an end this year, many could face a sharp rise in payments if they simply let their deal expire. Martin explains that letting your mortgage roll over to the lender’s Standard Variable Rate could see interest rates jump to around 7%, compared to the roughly 4% rates of cheaper fixes. 📈
Feeling the heat? Martin’s advice is straightforward and quick to follow. Start with the basics:
1. 🔍 Check what your current mortgage details are.
2. 📊 Do a quick compare-the-market on mortgage deals.
3. 🤔 If you find a better deal or need guidance, reach out to a mortgage broker.
Martin believes sorting this out might only take an hour of your time, and the savings could be significant—think around £2,000 per £100,000 on your mortgage. 💸
To make it easy, Martin’s website hosts a free remortgage guide and an ultimate mortgage calculator to help you through the process. Need a further nudge? Remortgaging could save you £100s, even £1,000s. Just make sure to get it right for those sweet savings. 🏡💪
Remember, the clock’s ticking, and “intention isn’t action.” Get going and avoid an unwanted increase in your monthly payments. Your future self will thank you! 🙌✨
