    You dont need to start a new mortgage.

    Call up your lender and ask them how much it would cost to do a Transfer or Equity (ToE). They will probably have some sort of admin fee.... £100 or so.

    You then need to get a solicitor on the case, i read here the other day they cost a couple of grand, im of the opinion its closer to £300 but im not the most experienced of advisors on here. Your best calling a couple of solicitors tomorrow to ask how much for a ToE.
