Mortgage for a flat in a block

Hi guys,

Im due to remortgage my flat which i brought under the right to buy a few years ago. One thing that is concerning me is the ability to find a lender that will lend on my flat as:

1) It's ex council
2) It's on the fourth floor in a 10 floor block

I know that i have equity and i would only be looking for a 70% LTV mortgage.

Can anyone recommend any lenders

Thanks

K

    Who is your current lender?

    Do you want to raise any extra capital at the same time? Are you now out of your pre-emption period?

  • Assuming you are out of your pre-emption period you should have plenty of options. Norwich & Peterborough, Cheltenham & Gloucester, Halifax, Abbey, Woolwich would all look at it. There will be more choices than this as well.
