Avoid remortgage due to change of circumstances

Options
Hi ya - My remortgage is due in 2 months and I am in a dilemma to sell off my property and move to a new property.  
For this reason, I don't like to go for another 2 years of fixed rate mortgage with a lender and want to keep my options open. 
Is there an efficient way to do this so that I will have some time to decide before putting through my remortgage application? 
Note - The mortgage per month increases by 400£ after I finish the current mortgage period.

  • Who is your lender?  

    When i have clients in this situation i will try to move to a no ERC product.  Usually a tracker or discount rate with no up front fees and no exit charges

    they usually have a no fee no erc tracker rate which might be a good idea to give you some time to figure out your plans

    @alienuk Well, as a Nationwide customer, you're in luck! You should have access to a product switch to Nationwide's no-fee no-ERC 2 year tracker. Once you're on that you can decide what to do and exit the mortgage when needed.

    For a product switch, there should be no underwriting, assessment or credit checks. Just 5 minutes of your time and a few clicks or a short phone call.

    Thanks again. Their statement says that after the 2 year fixed offer period the interest rate will increase. I will speak to them tomorrow and find out the options available.

    Glad to know there are options, cant wait for them to speak tomorrow. 
    What is the liability for nofee, no erc product? Will i pay more interest? currently i am doing 1.99% 
  • the rate is pretty much the same as the fixed option.   Log in to your mortgage online and you will see both options.   2 clicks and you are done
