  • As most lenders variables rates are relatively low, I would suggest just letting your mortgage go onto the standard variable rate until you sell the property.

    As you will find that if you take out a new deal, this will probably have an early repayment charge when you sell the property and go to repay the mortgage.

    Who is your lender, and what rate does it revert to?

    Have you considered the option of renting the property out until the time is right or you can sell it?
