Mortgage broker

I would like to remortgage to help my daughter to buy her first property. We have a property worth > £1 million and a mortgage of £13k. Our current provider isn’t interested though, perhaps because I am nearly 55.

Would a mortgage broker be a good route? There seem to be some 5 year deals available at 2% or so. Is interest only a possibility?

If so can anyone recommend a good broker?
Thank you.

    Interest only is a bit tricky in the current climate, but depending on how much you want and whether you have a way of clearing the debt at the end of the deal, it should be achievable.

    Any experienced broker should be able to help out with this.

    What are your plans to repay the money borrowed?
