Remorgtaging to buy 100% Equity

Hello,

I currently own 50% of a shared ownership property bought only a few months ago. However, we are now looking to increase to the full 100%, which is allowed, as soon as possible.

When looking to go to a 100% is a standard normal mortgage available to us or do we still have to apply to one of the shared ownership mortgages on the market?

Thanks in advance,

    standard mortgage is the route for 100% ownership (assuming you have the equity/deposit required)

  • That's what I had hoped.

    Are you able to remortgage at anytime, even if it has only been 2 months since you took out the mortgage?

    Lenders will require a 6 or 12 months gap normally.

    Whether this will apply to 100% staircasing I wouldn't like to say as I have never seen anyone staircasing up to 100% within a few months.
