Our first time buyer 2 year deal is coming to an end in a few months.
I could probably ask 100's of questions but I'll start with just one.
LTV deal? ? How do I figure out what I'm going for? Is it just what I paid for the house less my deposit and what I've paid off the balance of the mortgage over the 2 years?
Sorry to be a thicko

What have similar properties to yours sold for recently. That will give you a guide as to value. Every year you'll receive a mortgage statement which will tell you what you owe.
First place is to start is with your current lender. What products will they offer you being the initial question.0 -
Remember most of what you will have paid will be interest - unless you have been overpaying. The principal probably won't have fallen by very much0

Mmm the market on our estate is very slow moving (retired/elderly), the last house like ours to sell on here was ours lol.
The estate over the road 3 bed detached (as ours is) go for about 180k but I didn't pay anything near that (empty house that owner just wanted rid of)0 -
Your Lender may already have an estimated valuation on their system from which they will decide what options they can offer you going forward.
Who is the Lender - and have they offered you any options?I am a Mortgage Broker

My current lender is the Newcastle they haven't been in touch but there is a few months yet.
I'm hoping they are kind, I wouldn't mind saving a few quid lol.
Are their estimates based on your purchase price plus how much the market has gone up or down since then?0 -
