re-mortgage on £20 000

If I re-mortgage £20 000 will I be able to switch lenders and will they pay my fees for me.

Im thinking because its such a small amount other lenders might not be interested. If I stay with current lender Abbey will I have to pay any fees I owe £10000 on house but want extra to pay off credit cards and holiday.

Thanks in advance

    Well, if you switch lenders then they want to see a mortgage of £25,001 otherwise a secured loan might be a possibility.

    The Abbey might offer you a good deal for staying with them?

    You could always take out a flexible mortgage for £25001 and then payback the £5001 immediately.
    Sometimes this is easier that getting a £20k mortgage.
  • You can get a remortgage for less than 25001 with some lenders, but they seldom offer free legals on such a deal, for such a small amount you could be better staying on abbeys products
