Intelligent Finance Remortgage

Has anyone experienced remortgaging with Intelligent Finance recently? Just looking for some information regarding this and what they may need if removing and adding someone to a mortgage with them?

Cheers

    A remortgage would be a new mortgage with a new lender to repay IF. You are actually doing a "one-off, one-on" transfer of equity.

    The lender will vet the new applicant as any other new borrower and once approved, the matter will be passed to a solicitor for the legal transfer of equity.

    Usual cost around £400 to £600. Only the lender can confirm its procedures.

    Thanks Kingstreet for the reply,

    So to clarify this would be a transfer of equity then. I assumed it was a re-mortgage as I was changing the names and would have to go through a whole new mortgage / affordability application with them.

    Would I be vet'd or does that vary on the lender?

    They will look at overall affordability in this post-MMR environment, so both existing and new borrower will be assessed.
