Remortgage Question
Options

gravity
Posts: 5 Forumite
I currently have a property worth approx £120,000 and remaining mortgage to pay of £50,000.
Is is possible to remortgage the house to generate capital?
Can someone explain how this would work and how much capital i could raise?
From research I think i could get 80% of value which would be £96,000 but where does my equity fit into the equation?
Finally is it possible to use this new capital to pay back the new mortgage? (i.e. if i was unable to work for the next 3 years say - can I use that capital to pay the mortgate until i return to work?) I realizse this would not be cost efficient but just want to know if it is possible.

Possibly yes but nothing definite yet - I have little choice and maybe able to work part time but i am just trying to work out if this is an option.0
