Unemployed: can I re-mortgage?

Need some advice please...

Currently with Direct Line on their "Flexible Mortgage" (svr of 3.63%) that I've had since 2001.

It has (finally) dawned on me that I'm paying a lot here, and I should re-mortgage. Problem is that I'm unemployed (though in training), and just about making mortgage payments.

What's my best option in trying to get a better rate from another lender? LTV is less than 60%.

Any advice appreciated.

  • 3.63% doeasn't sound bad at all ,there are many here who would love that rate.

    Have you seen anything better,even with LTV< 60%?

  • You are on a good rate.

    Stay put

    As without a job you will not be able to move anyway
