Stonebridge analysis suggested remortgage activity rose during the opening months of 2026 as more borrowers approached the end of fixed-rate products arranged during the pandemic.

What to take from this update
- Starting early gives you time to compare a new lender with your existing lender’s offer.
- Fees, early repayment charges and incentives affect the overall cost.
- Borrowing needs and future plans should be reviewed at the same time.
“You do not have to wait until the final weeks of a fixed deal. An early review creates time to understand the options and secure a plan, while still allowing us to reassess if the market or your circumstances change before completion.”
