Ways to apply for a remortgage

Start your remortgage

Your steps to remortgaging with Shostra Bank

1. Find out how much your property is worth

2. Check how much is left to pay on your mortgage

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.

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.

More details about credit checks Close

What is the difference between a soft and a full credit check?

A soft credit check is just an initial look at your information. Soft searches aren’t visible to companies. So there’s no impact on your credit score or any future credit applications. Only you can see them and you can get multiple soft searches done.

A full credit check is performed when a lender makes a full analysis of your credit history. This type of inquiry is visible on your credit report, so any company searching it will be able to see that you’ve applied for credit.
