Can you have two mortgages on one property?

HELP :-)

We thinking about moving house (to a more expensive house) however because of the mortgage I have we would have to pay charges (early repayment) so I need some advice... I currently have a mortgage with C&G (fixed 5 years @ 6.9%) for 80K we are two years into this deal and if we were to pay this mortgage the early repayment change is 3k.

My question is can I take out a new mortgage for 40k and have two mortgages on the same property, if I move my current mortgage to the new property?

    Yes, the second mortgage will also need to be with C&G as they have a first charge.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    You can have two mortgage accounts but they would need to be with the same lender.

    The fix rate you have is VERY high - how long is left? What is the ERC?

    It might be worth checking out this calculator to work out whether it is worthwhile paying the ERC to secure a lower rate:

    One mortgage. Multiple sub-accounts. ;)

    matt - If you want to avoid the early repayment penalty, go back to C&G for your new mortgage for the full amount you want to borrow. You port the rate on your existing mortgage and take the extra borrowing on whatever new C&G deal you fancy.

    Your new mortgage is of course subject to status and current lending criteria.
