    Think people are over thinking this:
    Home valued at £140,000.
    Deposit of £36,000.
    Remaining value of house £104,000.
    You state £104,000 is just 3 times your mortgage.


    You need to get the full mortgage of £104k. You can repay the mortgage at any time, if you are in the midst of a fixed rate you will likely get an early repayment charge.


    I would get a mortgage for a normal term at a rate you can afford. Then when you get the cash you pay your mortgage. The advantage of this is you'll still have some of the 45k left over.
