If you are thinking ahead about making changes in 2019 a simple way to reduce your expenditure could be by revisiting your mortgage and ensuring you have the best deal available for your circumstances. Research reported in Mortgage Solutions showed that “one in three homeowners do not know their mortgage rate.” “Consumer group Which? surveyed more than 3,500 homeowners with a mortgage in the UK and found that one in three didn’t know what rate they were on.

Worryingly, one in four of those surveyed were on their mortgage lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), usually costing more than other products available from the same provider.
