Which Mortgage do we need!!!

Options
We have moved into my parents house and in the process of changing the house into mine and my husbands name. We are wanting to do an extension but need to remortgage to do so. When I have been looking at mortgages I aren't a first time buyer, looking at remorgage they are asking for my mortgage details that I already have! which we don't have an existing mortgage on the property?
What do I put it under?

    It's not a remortgage.

    It's just a mortgage, if you're buying the property.

    Or do you mean you're remortgaging another property to release some equity?

    If you own it, it's a remortgage of an unencumbered property.

    You might have to wait six months after you become owners of the property.

    We’re not buying the property at all. It’s my mums house and our names are going onto it as she is retired so we need to fund the extension!!!

    Why would I need to wait 6 months?

    you need a mortgage, not a remortgage.

    A remortgage is what you need if you already have a mortgage on a property and you want a new rate.

    If you look for a mortgage you won't be asked for existing mortgage details.

    Any reason why you're ignoring what I posted above?

    SOME lenders won't entertain a mortgage application on a property until it has been in current ownership six months or longer.

    Just to clarify terminology;-

    Customer retention Product/Product Transfer/Rate Switch

    A mortgage with current lender and taking a new rate with current lender.

    Remortgage

    A mortgage with a new lender to repay existing mortgage to get new rate and possibly borrow more.

    Remortgage of unencumbered property

    You own a mortgage-free property and want to use is as security for a loan from a first charge/residential lender.
