    You will need to be careful regarding the interest paid on your mortgage if you are about to take on a larger mortgage whilst unemployed.

    DWP may question why you took out a larger mortgage whilst unemployed as their policy is that interest can be paid on mortages in situ at time of unemployment & any further mortgages/remortgages must not be for a larger amount than the original mortgage held.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
