right il try explain the situation
i bought my first house 2 years ago in august x council house, i got a standard interest only mortgage with the view to sort up the house and rent it out
i got it rented and changed to capital and repayment
6 months later me and the girlfriend started looking for a house and the house next door, semi detached block, came back on the market after sale falling through a couple times, jumped at the chance and got the keys 6 weeks later
that property was bought with a large deposit and a buy to let mortgage
so in just i have 2 mortgages that are technically round the wrong way
So the first houses mortgage was on a 2 year tracker and is up in august
i will need to renew the mortgage and will be looking at probably 90-95% of the property value the way things have went
id like to lock in for 5 years fixed if i can get a good deal.
i am best just staying with the RBS who i am with just now or is that my only option?
was thinking also would it be possibile to remortgage in a couple years time to pay off one property in full and just be left with 90-100% mortgage on the one property?
Sorry for all the questions adn thanks for any help

One thing to bear in mind is that you don't really want either mortgage going over 90% LTV if you can help it, as that'll greatly restrict the number of products available to you for remortgaging. So you may want to jig things around a bit to ensure that you get the best deals. For example (random numbers) it may be that:
Property 1: 92% LTV
Property 2: 50% LTV
works out more expensive than say:
Property 1: 84% LTV
Property 2: 59% LTV
...if it means you can get a better deal for property 1 without making the deal on property 2 any worse.0
