What Happens When My Fixed Rate Expires?

At Aspect Mortgages, we don’t just help you secure a great mortgage—we stay with you for the journey. When your current deal is coming to an end, we’ll automatically get in touch to review your options well before your rate expires. This means you won’t slip onto your lender’s standard variable rate, which is often much higher, and you’ll have time to explore the most suitable new deal.

Whether it’s switching to a better rate with your current lender or moving to a new one, we’ll search the market and guide you through the process with clear, expert advice. There’s no need to chase us or worry about missing deadlines—we’ve got it covered. Our proactive approach means you stay in control, avoid unnecessary costs, and always have a mortgage that fits your needs.

Can I Review My Existing Protection Insurance?

Your protection needs can change over time—and your insurance cover should keep up. Whether you've moved home, started a family, changed jobs, or your mortgage has decreased, it's important to review your life, critical illness, and income protection policies regularly. This ensures that your cover still reflects your current financial responsibilities and provides the right level of support for you and your loved ones.

At Aspect Mortgages, we offer regular protection reviews to make sure your plans are still suitable, cost-effective, and aligned with your goals. We’ll check for any gaps in cover, explore better-value options, and explain everything clearly—so you can have peace of mind that you’re fully protected, whatever life brings.

What Happens If I Want To Move House?

If you're moving home and want to keep your existing mortgage deal, we can help you explore the option of porting your current mortgage to your new property. As long as your circumstances still meet your lender’s criteria, porting can be a cost-effective and convenient way to take your current rate with you—avoiding early repayment charges and the need to start a new deal from scratch.

If your situation has changed and you no longer meet your lender’s requirements, don’t worry—we’ll guide you through all your alternatives. As whole-of-market advisors, we can look at a wide range of lenders and products to find a solution that suits your new plans. Whether you can port or need a fresh approach, we’re here to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Can I Borrow More Money?

If you’re looking to raise additional funds—whether for home improvements, helping family members onto the property ladder, or a major purchase—we can help you assess the best way forward. One option is to apply to borrow more from your existing lender, often known as a further advance. If your circumstances and affordability still meet the lender’s criteria, this can be a straightforward and cost-effective solution.

If a further advance isn’t suitable or available, we can also explore a second charge mortgage—essentially a separate loan secured against your home alongside your existing mortgage. This can be a flexible way to access funds without disturbing your current deal. At Aspect Mortgages, we’ll clearly explain the pros and cons of each route and help you choose the right option based on your needs and long-term goals.
