Fixed rate mortgage coming to an end.....?
i have a fixed rate mortgage that runs out in feb 09 what will happen when it runs out then.The mortgage will probably come down but would it be better to remortgage in order to get a better rate,or would you just leave it till feb 09 then see what happens i.e my monthly payments and interest rates?

Beware Americans giving dud advice.

When your fixed rate period expires you will switch to your lender's standard variable rate (SVR). Unless you took out a very bad deal the SVR will almost certainly be a higher rate than you are on now, so your mortgage payments will go up.

The problem is that although the Bank of England rate is very low, banks are keeping their own rates much higher. And they are being very tight with their lending criteria, so people are finding it harder to get a mortgage.

Its likely that interest rates will drop some more, and banks will drop their rates further as well. I think you will get a better deal better deal if you wait. But, house prices are dropping. If you wait your house will be worth less, and you are less likely to get a new mortgage for the amount you need.

It's very difficult to give more specific advice without knowing lots of details about your current financial circumstances.

I would get in touch with the bank or building society that gave you this mortgage and ask them for advice. Things are still very difficult at the moment and you're more likely to get a new mortgage if you stay with the people you use now.

You will probably have a job re-mortgaging because the banks are still not lending to each other. Even if you do manage to remortgage you will get caught in the crossfire and you can bet that the banks won't lose out. Stick with it till Febuary next year and see if anything has changed in the financial market.

It will go to the lender's SVR. Why not just ring up your lender and ask them.

Don't you have any documents that states what happens at the end?

Sort this out before the fixed rate ends

If you are on a fixed rate I don't see how that would expire.
If it turns into an ARM watch out.
The sky could be the limit.
I had one that followed rates that banks charge each other. They said that it would never move over 3/8 at a time. What they failed to tell me was it didn't matter if the rates went up or down. Mine would go up but not more than 3/8 at a time.
I had it done over with our credit at a fixed rate. Was very happy with it till I finally paid it off.
A lot of them are now doing renegotiating of the loans.
If you have a credit union get it with them. The rates might sound higher, but it is simple interest. Just like buying a car.
Ask what will be paid in at the end of the loan. Even thought the credit union has a higher interest rate it will be lower at the end of the loan because of the way they charfe interest.

A fixed rate mortgage is called a fixed rate mortgage, because the rate of interest is "fixed" (set in stone) for the life of the loan. A fixed rate mortgage never expires. When it ends, it ends because it's been paid in full.

You need to read your loan documents to determine what type of mortgage you have. (It's not a fixed rate mortgage.) If you have an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) typically the rate of interest is fixed for a brief period at the beginning of the loan, after which the interest rate adjusts at set intervals, depending on the terms of your loan. Your loan terms are not the same as other people's loan terms. Again, you need to read your loan documents, which you should've done before you signed them.

Considering everything that's going on right now, I think everyone with a mortgage should sit tight. A new administration wants to bail out individuals with a history of using poor judgment. And, if you get a new mortgage before then, you're likely to screw yourself out of any tax credit, or other freebie. So, read what you signed when you took on your current mortgage, and then wait until January to see what Obama does.
