Can you do this with additional borrowing...

Apply for additional borrowing up to 75% LTV to secure the rate, then reapply for the extra additional borrowing you need to take me up to 80% LTV rate, but only pay the extra 5% at the high 80% LTV rate...
Then in two years time (or potential 2 years and 1 month due the extra product and misaligned dates) remortgage again onto a new deal but hopefully all at 75% LTV due to price increase...

  • Usually 6 months between further advance applications.  If not then in theory its possible.

    @iamiam Don't know about FD but HSBC additional borrowing requires a 6 month gap and a £10k minimum for additional borrowing.

    The problem is that you will end up with 2 mortgage parts 6 months apart and then have to juggle at remortgage time or pay a penalty to leave.

    Agreed, Ive decided on a no fee tracker though for the extra borrowing - so should all align nicely when needed
