Hi 62 year old M my mortgage term of 25 years is up at the end of this year. I have an interest only mortgage and owe about 20% of the value Of my home. Due to CV19 my investments have fallen drastically in the past few months, I was hoping to use to pay my mortgage off. I have income from commercial property Rentals, I’m not looking to retire, is it possible I can extend the term? My current lender don’t seem to want to know.
Thanks for reading.

details?
There may be a lender
Many stocks have been steadily recovering by the year end the picture could be very different as some companies are going to come through this a lot stronger(some will wonder why they needed to employ so many people in expensive offices)
Current lender?
A broker may be able to present a case or know if they are a lost cause and you need to move on.
