Remortgage to pay off shared equity?

Hi there,


My question is pretty much what is said in the title. Is it possible to remortgage to pay off shared equity?
30% of my property was paid for by Lift's open market shared equity scheme. Would any banks give you a mortgage based on the full value of the property to pay off the equity?

    Yes. Subject to status and valuation.

    What do you mean by status? Thanks again.

    That you meet the lender's credit and affordability criteria and the property valuation is acceptable.
