Mortgage with dependants

Hi


I need to remortgage later this year and this will include hopefully borrowing more money. I live with my partner (soon to be fianc!) and our 9 month old baby.


The house is soley in my name and the application would be based on me alone but I was just wondering if anyone could reassure me(or not) that I would be able to borrow the require funds.


Salary: £32k
House Value: £180-200k
Mortgage at redemptation date: £120k
Remortgage amount requesting : £128.5k
No CC debt




Currently with Nationwide and I have been assuming id be able to apply for one of there 5 year deals no problem, but would like some kind of censuses weather that is likely.


Thanks in advance
S
Scoops :)

    Should be fine, subject to an affordability assessment.

    Nationwide arent particularly competitive with rates, so would recommend reviewing the market with a broker

    For a fee free mortgage too? With a LTV of say under 75% - what is likely?


    Nationwide are currently 2.14%

    I cannot name names on here, but all I can say is there are quite a few other lenders that are cheaper.

    Thanks - I understand you cant name names. I did use a fee free broker so maybe I need spend some money on advice next time.


    I also have another property which currently has CTL on it.
    Value £90-95k
    O/S Mortgage = £70k


    Would this rule of some of those lenders?


    How much does an advisor cost?

    Potentially, as some lenders will account for the mortgage if its only on a CTL not a BTL.

    Variety of fees. I know of Fee Free brokers and I know of brokers that charge £999. Maybe best to speak to friends and family see if they know of any local reputable ones.
