Remortgage - End of variable rate tie-in.

Hi all,

I asked this as a tag-on to another thread, but was told to restart it as a new post. Apologies if I'd not read rules properly.

Could I have a little guidance please ?
I'm shortly due to come to the end of my tie in with Northern Rock (2 yr fixed deal, then 1 yr on variable rate) and want a new deal.

Current details are: £77,000 outstanding on mortgage, plus unsecured loan needed at the time of £5,500 to top up, therefore overall balance £82,500. Plus £9,000 in further loan (5 years of 7 year loan remaining) and £3k credit card. House value is now approx £120k.

Total outstanding overall = approx £95k.

What's my best way forward, and who with ?

Any guidance would be appreciated

    An 80% debt consolidation remortgage is possible.

    Do you have any redemption penalties?
    Do you have a help with costs to pay back?
    What is your income or are your incomes, my dear.

    Hi
    Annual income is £26k
    My girlfriend has just moved in, though not naming her on the mortgage (at this stage, that might happen in the future) and pays a basic 'rent' of £200pm.
    Fee is £2,500, expiring 01/09/07, so want the remortgage to tie in with that expiring. HWC is £1,000, but I'll have to pay that anyway, as this doesn't expire until Feb 08.

    On the face of it, this can be done, no problem.

    As mortgage offers are for three months and can be extended, you may want to get the ball rolling with a clear mandate to your solicitor not to complete until 01/09/07
