Mortgage Options

Hi All,

I'm new here as I'm after some mortgage advise.

I currently own a house with my girlfriend but we are now selling up to go and live back with our parents for the time being. As we are selling up then plan to pay off the mortgage I have been told it might be worth looking into what options out mortgage provider have for either freezing the mortgage or paying intrest only until we sell, what's everyones views on this?

Thanks

    No not struggling to pay the mortgage, but I guess that money which isnt paying towards the mortgage can be used for solicitors fees?

    Your provider would have no incentive for offering to freeze your interest or anything else given that you're not struggling to pay.
