What is a remortgage?
In times gone by the word remortgage was associated with bad money management but not anymore, now it is regarded as potentially a smart move.
A remortgage, also known as refinancing, involves switching your existing mortgage to a new deal, either with your current lender or a different one. This can be done for several reasons, such as securing a better interest rate, consolidating debt, or changing the mortgage type or term.

Fundamentally a self-employment mortgage is the same as your normal remortgage but the way in which you prove your income is different.
