Renting and Remortgage

Hi,

1st time post here and just looking for some advice.

I'm currentrly with XXXX on a 4.78%, on a 1 bed flat that's worth about £95,000. I owe about £87,000 on it, and i'm looking to re-mortage. The problem is i've been renting the property out without the mortgage company's knowledge. There is'nt enough capital in the property for me to get a Buy2Let mortage. Does anyone know if there are any schemes where you can let your proeprty (legally), and change mortgage providers.

Thanks, Jack

    There is insufficient equity for a remortgage, BTL or residential (even if you were living in it) IMHO.

    Perhaps better to sell the property. If you don't intend living in it. The costs of remortgaging, if it were possible, would add up too.
