    If you borrowed £113,000 on a repayment basis then the "mortgage" comprises of £113,000 capital plus £126,000 in interest, giving a total to repay at the end of the term as £239,000.

    As you have been paying the mortgage for a few years now you will have paid some of the capital off... £3500 in your case, leaving £109,500 as the balance of the mortgage to move to another lender.
  • excellent so i would only have to remortgage the capital and not the interest i was scared the value of the house wouldnt cover the £239,000 i understand it a'lot more now thank you

    I'm sure the mortgage company would like you to pay them back all the interest on top, but no, just the overall capital.

    Make sure you shop around for the best mortgage to suit you, just because you are self employed shouldn't restrict you too much, especially if you have 2-3 years account under your belt.

    A good broker might a good idea to help you look at the best options available.
