Remortgage/additional borrowing advice

Hello,I'm new here. Thanks for looking in advance.
Problem Due to remortgage in July (for Sept/oct)£90k interest only
With Abbey. Also have Homeowner loan with White Label
(how they made 16k ino 21k with insurance sucks!)

After being made redundant 2.5 yrs ago I had to remortgage as fixed term was coming to an end. I was temping constantly and got advice frm Charcol.

The temp job has become perm since last nov.
However,I would like to go repayment and also get rid of white label.
Rest goes in an ISA

I was thinking of trying for additional £10k from Abbey and getting
Barclays UNSECURED loan£25k
The mortgage currently has 14 yrs to run.
Flat worth £235-245k (one is for sale at£245k)
Salary£22k +o/t
Please don't tell me I'm screwed. Wish I found this site earlier
Thanks

    Sorry - this is not clear to me

    You have a £90k interest only mortgage on a property worth £235-£245k

    You also have £21k outstanding from White Label


    But you now want to increase mortgage by £10k to £100k - is that correct?

    And want to take out a personal loan with Barclays for £25k - is that correct?

    Why are you raising the extra £35k?

    If you were clearing White Label you only need £21k

    and if ever I lose my job etc. It would help .

    That still only makes £26k roughly needed, and not the £35 you are looking at £21k + £3k + 1.6k).

    So you would look to increase £90k mortgage by say £26k to £116k


    On a £235k property that is 50% approx.

    However it will be a stretch on just £22k income - so you will need to find a lender to take into account your O/T

    Although you do not say how much this is or how regular it is.

  • Thanks again H. It's a worry for sure. O/T is regular
    only 15 hrs per month+ holidays etc.
    I was wondering if it was advisable to extend mortgage by couple of yrs to make payment easier. D o you think it best to have
    mortgage and seperate unsecured loan or just a bigger mortgage?

    Due to the problems I've had in the past(lower income/redundancy/not brilliant advice) you could see why I'm up against it.
    I know it's my last chance to get things as near right as possible.

    Thanks again

    Taking out a loan to put into a savings account almost never makes financial sense.

  • one thing I was wondering: If everything went pear shaped and I had to continue paying interst only on say £100k mortgage,
    how much do I need to put away (ie £500.00 mortgage pm)?
    this would probably be over 14 yrs.

    Thanks
