Interest only re-mortgage through a Guarantor

Hi

I was wondering how anyone who was in a similar position had found the re-mortage experience, namely been out of the fixed 2 year period for about a year, on the SVR which is good for now, but when I took out a mortgage it was 90% Guarantor Interest-only. Has anyone in this position tried re-mortgaging recently and how what requirements did they face? ie higher deposit needed, high rate?

  • Depends on your current loan to value.
    You should not have much of a problem its more 1st time borrowers that have the issue.

    How much do you owe?

    How much is the property currently worth?

    Is the guarantor still liable for the mortgage?

    Are you still on interest only (if so why?)?

    90% interest only with no repayment vehicle would mean you won't be able to change lender.
