Instant re-mortgage lenders

Just purchased our own home outright but would like to re-mortgage immediatly to start work on the house. We live in Hornchurch, essex and was wondering if anyone knew of any Instant re-mortgage lenders in the surrounding area, so we can make enquiries?

thanks

    Most lenders have a six month minimum before they will accept a mortgage application. You have to have owned the property for that time, or they view it as a "sub-sale" or "back to back" transaction.

    If you can find a lender do do this, it normally takes four to six weeks for the application to be processed.

    Talk about small world. Our office is in Park Lane (Hornchurch that is...!)

    The majority of lenders have a 6 month rule in place as Kingstreet says, although so long as you are not trying raise funds remortgaging against the new value and just the purchase price subject to circumstances there are likely to be options.

    Good luck

    Not really allowed to "tout" or go looking for new clients on the forum.

    That said, there are many brokers that "subject to circumstances" that will be able to find a solution for you around the 6 months ownership rule.

    Given you will not have access to 90% of the market, you need to consider what is more important in terms of accessing a product now vs potentially having access to the entire market in 6 months.

    Process typically takes 4-6 weeks from you pushing the button to funds in your account. Solicitors tend to be a large part in this process.

    All the best
