    How do you intend repaying your mortgage then?

    You have entered a contractual agreement to repay. So lender dictates the terms if you default or what extension will be offered.

    Most people just to see the back of their mortgage. As once its paid off. Then no longer a worry.
  • Probably best to speak to bank then?

    Bit more info would be nice!

    Balance left to pay? Term?

    How are you planning to pay the capital back?

    Fine. As long as you can pay the mortgage when due.
    Is this illegal?
    No. But it's potentially very stupid if you can't pay the mortgage off when due.
    Should I contact bank!
    If you won't be able to meet the commitment, yes. If the money is sat there to clear your mortgage when due there is no need.
    Will they ask me to sell my house?
    Ultimately they could kick you out and sell it for you.

    I'd get talking to them.
