Is there a mortgage out there for us?

  • Just an update to all who gave us thier opinionsand advice.

    Mortgage advisor arranged new mortgage on the flat to give us a large deposit on new property.
    Both mortgages fixed for two years, and on interest only 16 year terms.
    Was a 40 a day smoker for 20 years.
    Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
    Halfway through losing six stone.

    Looking forward to early retirement.
  • Sale of the other property is not always acceptable to all lender, you will not get interest only above 75% LTV (not many left who will do 75% IO + balance C&I), ages make it tricky but not undoable - there probably is a way (in fact 2 or 3 ways I suspect). Your broker will take you through the options - once he/she has all the background info.

    I suspect that the best answer lies in splitting the borrowing across the two properties.

    Can I claim my prize now ?

    Glad to hear you got it sorted
