I own a property motgage free value £130000,
I want to raise £100000 to enable me to buy another property value £125000
Could I remortgage to raise this amount and if so what would my repayments be
I tried to get a normal mortgage for the 100000 from Alliance and Leicester but the max they would lend me is £78000 :confused:

    It all depends on a number of things. how much you earn, which lender you approach, and any other outstanding debts you have together with your credit status and employment status. best bet is to go and see a local whole of market mortgage broker who will take the finer details from you and recommend a suitable solution.

    You should be able to do this - incoem and current financial commitments permitting.

    In terms of getting the highest loan amount, it all about getting the highest multiples, or most favourable affordability calculator wo work for you.

    Again, I would suggest having a word with a whole of market mortgage adviser who should be able to point you in the right direction.
