change in Mortgage administration

underworld99

My fixed rate mortage with E-mex (part of cheshire Building soc) came to an end about 6 months ago and have been paying their SVR which is 5.99%. I've benn trying to remortgage it but with no luck so far. last month the admin of the morgage was taken over by mortgageworks whose SVR is 4.99%. are they under any legal obligation to give me that rate. I'm sur ethey would if I had been paying on SVR of base rate + 2% or something...thanks

No. They aren't. If this is simply a change of administrator, the firm originally responsible for rate setting remains responsible for rate setting.

What's the remortgage problem?

Thansk for the reply - I got made redundant and my new income is not enough to cover the income requiremnt - i'm not sure why its being adminstered by mortgageworks as it wasn't a BTL in the first place

TMW probably has surplus admin capacity and is offering to act as a third party administrator. It will receive a fee from the lender for doing so. Something else just occurred to me. Cheshire BS is now owned by Nationwide which also owns TMW. It's just being moved to another Nationwide group company.

On the remortgage issue, Halifax and Abbey have income multiples of upto 5 x your gross annual if you have a decent credit score.
