Shared Ownership - Remortgaging when my 2 year Santander Mortgage runs out...

Hi there....

So...2 years ago I started the Shared Ownership process and signed up for a Santander Mortgage on the 25% of the flat that I'm in. In June it'll be the end of the 2 years since I signed the paperwork....so It hink I need to get a new mortgage?! (I'm genuinely clueless on this one...)

Please can anyone give me some advice as to what I do then?! I normally am very Money Saving and shop around for everything...does that apply for Mortgages? What about shared ownership mortgages? I know that lenders don't like to go near us poor people who cannot afford a full mortgage so the pool of providers is limited...

How does it work please?
What would you recommend?
Or do I just stick with Santander and be done with it?

Thank you so much in advance. :o

    Ask your current lender about customer retention options open to you and look at remortgage options with other lenders.

    You will need to look at lenders/products specifically for shared ownership.
