Remortgage?

Options
Hi,

Can anyone advise me on this issue, please!

My boyfriend and I want to move in together, he owns half the house with his dad. His dad wants £60,000 for his half (the house is worth £120,000). My boyfriend has £33,000 left on his mortgage over 12yrs. We have got an appointment with HIS bank next week seeking the extra £60,000. I don't know whether he can get it on his mortgage or whether we get one together (to which this is my first time mortgage).

We tried to get one with a different building society last year but was rejected. I have sufficent savings (£7000 +) but I am an agency Lecturer to which I'm on a long term contract with my company. The added twist is that we are due to have a baby in 10weeks. If we sell the house, my boyfriend will lose a lot of money and renting is tooo much (more than the mortgage and bills).

What do we need to be aware of so we can get a remortage or how to better our chances? I just want to be prepared.

Many thanks!

    Don't waste your time approaching a bank. Get a good broker instructed and let them identify a suitable solution for you. You have a few quirks with your application which need to be taken into account.
