Mortgages & endowments

Hello. How easy is it to amend a trust of deed between two people not married from 90/10 to 50/50. I believe there is no mortgage on it or a very small one. According to ai they can do it for free by printing out forms and having a witness signing it . But i doubt that. Also how much would a solicitor charge for this…

Hi Can anybody share their experiences with getting a mortgage from these guys please? Many thanks.

We are aged 71 and 72 with a mortgage free semi detached Victorian house which we have lived in for just under 40 years. Recently we have had to replace our car (20 year old citroen berlingo died on the motorway) and have had to replace our leaking foam sprayed roof. We still owe the builder £4000. This has wiped out our…

Hi We are at the stage of wanting to repay our mortgage early. The mortgage is with Barclays and we can pay 10% a year without fees. My question is do we save money over the month and throw £500+ as an extra payment or do smaller payments over the month when money is available. As the interest is calculated daily, would a…

For a bit of background, I’m lucky to have a healthy income from secure employment, a handful of credit cards which I’ve always paid on time, a mortgage on the house in which I live that I’ve always paid on time, and a couple of mortgages on BTLs which I’ve also always paid on time. I don’t have any unsecured interest…

I am about to remortgage one of my buy to let mortgages with the Mortgage Works and have spotted something that I really don't understand and hope someone can enlighten me. My current deal ends 31/10/26 and have just been told I can look at my options now. The one that looks the best is to take a fixed rate of 5.74%…

Massive apologies if I’m posting in the wrong forum, I just don’t know where else to turn for help! I’ve had a letter from the cps regarding a POCA from 2014, please see attached.

Hi how do I find an independent mortgage broker in Scotland for a remortgage to release more funds? I've googled but just get huge generic companies or people refer me to solicitors. I've used one before but they only like completely straight forward cases. Thank you
