Hi All.
We have. £100k mortgage on £180k property. Our salaries are £38k and £32k. Our tracker is now finishing/finished and we would likt to take advantage of lower interest rates on the fixed terms or trackers rather than SVR.
We intend to move to a new property in march (a realistic date) after we tart the house, sell it and buy another. We intend to keep the deal for 3-5 years (min-max). OUr new hous mortgage is probably going to be £150-160k
What is the best deal that would allow us to get the cheap £100k mortgage just now and either increase the deal to £150-160k (to buffer the interest rises) or switch to take advantage of a cheaper deal in march. Naturally for fees would eat into a short term deal so I'm looking for advice on total costings.
More later...

Personally I'd go with the SVR until you move.
Although some mortgages are portable there are often criteria, for example the lender may not mortgage a particular type of property. Also there are generally fees for porting your mortgage.0 -
YOu could look at a fee free re-mortgage - which will be cheaper than SVR - and with no early repayment penalties.
So once you have sold you can either port the deal across, or at that time, look if there are any better deals that you like and not pay a penalty for the benefit of doing so.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Thanks for that. Since you're a mortgage advisor I guess you cannot recomend a company on the forum and also without doing a full financial review. However, what kind of deal should we be expecting?
£0 arrangement fee, £0 early exit and 6-6.5% intereat rate? Is that a reasonable expectation?
