Remortgaging

Hi guys,

I’m currently about to take out a 2 year fixed rate mortgage where overtime is helping the total amount I’m allowed to borrow, I can still afford the repayments on my basic but the overtime allows me to borrow more. I’m just thinking about at when the 2 years fixed rate is up and I’m looking to remortgage what would be the situation if I was only on my basic wage and a lender wouldn’t lend me enough to remortgage? Or would that not happen? Would I be stuck in the variable rate?

Thanks in advance!

    You should have the option of a customer retention product from your existing lender, if any are offered. Check your lender's record on these.
