entire mortgage, so move

And do it now because you know, interest rates are relatively low now.

We're we're we're down now at the average rate that they are across Europe.

Uh they will go up.

The ECB U European Central Bank will probably put rates up again in September.

Uh, but you can still get decent rates and you might be on a legacy high rate, or maybe you're coming off a nice juicy fixed rate and your bank is gonna put you onto a higher rate.

Move the whole damn thing.

Make m all lock stock and borrow, move it onto another another mortgage.

mortgage lender and see if you can't get a better deal.

That would that makes sense to me.

So avoid this kind of top up trap where you just go back to your own bank and top up your existing mortgage.

Yeah, you're still in a good position there, Matt.

And you know, an awful lot of loans now are on the basis of the loan to value.

So if you've you know, if you're still in a position where the house is worth far more, you know, is worth double what what what you owe on the mortgage, you'll get a very juicy interest rate based on that rate.

Uh and look at people are forced into renovating rather than relocating because there isn't that much to buy.

You know, only two percent of the of our houses and we've about two point two million houses.

two percent of them are changing hands.

So people are just they're they're doing if energy efficiency upgrades, they may extend the home 'cause the family is bigger.
