Re-mortgage

Hello,

Took out a 2 years fixed rate mortgage for £195500 (plus 1499 fee) debt in may 2007 that is coming to end in feb 2009. property bought for £230000 but value was higher at £310000. good location and 3 bed flat.

I have good credit history, never defaulted, no ccj, don't use credit card that much. Loan to value ratio (probably 60%) is good as property is at low end £310-330k. have £5k in savings.

My question is my income is lower now and approx i earn £25k mainly from one job but little bit in second job. How will re-mortgage process turn out. currently on interest only paying £820 plus insurance £21. Any ideas,

Thanks in advance.

    If your income is now lower at £25k there is no way any other lender will agree a mortgage of around £195k

    Your only option will be to go to your exisiting lender and ask them what rates they could offer
