Standard Variable Rate remortgage

This is the most general form of remortgage available in the market. The rate of interest charged in SVR is linked to the rate of interest charged by the Bank of England. The proportion of rate change in SVR is not exactly the same as the proportion of rate of interest charged by Bank of England. For example if Bank of England has reduced the interest rates by 50 basis points, the rate of interest charged under SVR could be around 40 basis points. In recent times the rate change for SVR has been substantially less when compared to rate change by Bank of England. This is because the mortgage companies are finding it extremely difficult to get money at low rates.
