Hi Guys .. new to this forum but a DFW and Old styler 
I was just hoping for a little advice.
my mortgage is up from its fixed rate soon and I can apply for a new deal in march, I currently owe around 34,500 and last valuation was 100,000 but since then I have had a two story side extension and orangery put onto the back of the house.
I am the only adult and hence only payee (at least its all mine though lol)
I do have a loan for around 13000 (on 7%) and a cc of around 6000 (on 0%) but I am trying to pay as much off these as possible to clear them. At present I pay £470 per month and there should be 7 years left on it when the deal ends.
I earn around £21000 with other income of around £13000 per year.
I would be able to pay more per month but with affordability checks im not sure if I would be able to reduce the term ...
I am planning on staying with my current provider but not sure if I would need to do all the valuations and checks again ..
any advice would be great Lisa x

If you change your rate with your current provider, then all the above is irrelevant. There wouldn't be any financial checks and generally, there shouldn't be another valuation.I am a Mortgage Broker.
