New House and remortgaging

Hello, first of all would like to say how much i enjoy following this forum and all the great advice being given. I was wondering if anyone could help me with my query.

Our current mortgage deal has 20 years to run and we are no longer tied in.
we have seen a house that we would like to move to, our new mortgage would be around 100,000, we have around 14000 in savings which we would like to keep. what mortgage would you recommend?

    well it depends on a lot of factors really

    how much do you both earn
    what are your joint monthly credit commitments
    how much deposit do you have
    what type of a mortgage do you want? do you need a bit of help discussing all the different types?

    Ok well plenty of flexible mortgages on market, Abbey, Woolwich, C&G, - you are well within your borrowing capacity so assuming your credit status is OK you will fit most lenders criteria

    Is it important to you to know the monthly cost of your mortgage for a set period of time or would you like to put a ceiling limit on the mortgage?
