    So you have another £160,000 of debt on top of the £190,000 for the two mortgages, or is £160,000 the equity in your current house?

    I thought you said that one debt was £80K and the other is £110K.

    I think you should get a copy of your current statements and seek out a broker, they will be able to help you achieve the cheapest options as you seem to have enough equity to play with.

    If your lender has customer retention products, you should be able to choose a product for a 50% loan to value and have it applied to both sub-accounts, so the full amount of your mortgage is on the same rate.

    If you are asking why your lender can't have one mortgage with one account, it's probably because of how the port had to be administered.

    If you remortgage, you'll have one mortgage and one account for the whole amount you owe with the new lender.

    Why do you care if they are both the same rate?

    The way I read it, £80k and £110k were starting values, and they've since paid £30k off one or both, leaving them with £160 total debt

    If they're the same rate it makes very little difference to you right now.

    If you remortgage then move to a different company and borrow the combined amount (ie £160k) as a single sum and pay off both of your accounts at the current lender, that way you only have one to deal with.

    19 posts and I still don't see what the problem is?


    £160,000 on a 2.5% rate.


    £xxx under one reference number on a 2.5% rate and £xxx under another reference number on the same rate.
