If your Employment status has recently changed.
Lenders need to feel that you can repay your mortgage, so, if you have recently changed your employment status this can hinder your remortgaging option.

Not much left to pay
If there is only a small balance remaining on your mortgage the cost of moving mortgages may not be worth the move as you will not see any benefit from the decrease in interest charges
Tax relief changes
Historically (pre April 2017), any interest you paid towards the mortgage payments could be deducted from your rental income before you paid tax on it.
Since April 2017 the new tax system has been phased in, each tax year from 2017 to 2020 the percentage of mortgage interest payments that can deducted from rental income will decrease by 25% and the portion of interest payments that qualify for a new tax credit will increase by 25%.
This means that from April 2020 you will not be able to deduct any interest payments from rental income. However, 100% of the interest payments will qualify for the new 20% tax credit.
