Hello everyone,

My situation:

3 bed semi bought (Nationwide mortgage completion date) - Dec 2012.
Property value at purchase - 183k
Mortgage pending - 170,020 (at 5.69 fix 3yrs remaining)
Early Repayment charges - 6.9k
Current valuation as per Nationiwde online tool -191k (Outer South East)

Work done
New Kitchen - 10k
Garden landscape - 2k

What are the chances of a remortgage at lower rate? Idea is to borrow more as part of the re-mortgage to finance a conservatory.

Your inputs will be helpful.

Thanks,
CT

    With current mortgage at 89% of what you believe is current value, I'd say little chance of borrowing more.

    Although you've spent £12k on personalising the property. Unlikely that this will all translate into an increase in value.

    With the ERC remortgaging doesn't appear a financially sensible option.

    Perhaps build so more equity in the property before outlaying on a conservatory.

    I don't think that remortgaging is going to work. Many suppliers of conservatories will offer finance deals - you might want to go down that avenue or else get a personal loan.
