Mortgage advice needed

I've just had an offer accepted on a property and hoping for a little advice.
I have a substantial deposit but would need to borrow £100,000 so I'm wondering what sort of mortgage and which lender I should apply for.
I own a property which I plan to put on the market once I've moved and which would repay the mortgage in full, so I also need something that will not tie me in.
TIA

    Hi mews

    Your post is a bit too vague to give some advice on, if you can provide a bit more detail that would be helpful.
  • Hi Andy,
    Thank you for your reply, what sort of additional information would be needed.

    Should be no problem, just make sure you get a deal with no early redemption penalties.

    Just keep an eye on the fees, if you are repaying within a short time the fees are as important as the interest rate quoted. A simple spreadsheet, based on the costs or keeping the mortgage for say a year, should tell you what is the cheapest deal. You want to factor in arrangement & booking fees, valuation fee, any redemption charges as well as the standard redemption fee (£2-500).

  • Hi Mews,

    I don't see any problems with you acquiring the property. Just have the bank or loan's vendor lay down all the necessary fee's that you may incur not only before, during and after the loan, but also the incidental fees/expenses. That way you'll not be surprised when your received your mortgage's billing statements.

    Congrats!

    Why not try and sell your existing property at the same time as you buy the new one? Then you won't need costly bridging finance.
