Remortgage quandary
Options

Hi, I'm wondering what others would do in my situation.
I want to put my house on the market in April or May and buy another one when I have an offer. My current mortgage deal happens to end in June. Is it worth remortgaging in case the process takes long or plans change? And would you get a fix or a tracker which would be cheaper? I would need to borrow more for my onward purchase.
Thank you
Thank you

If you really want to move home then get your property on the market ASAP.
It will take several months to sell your own home and buy a new property.
You may need to drop onto the SVR for a couple of months or a fee free tracker deal with No ERC,s0 -
Then it's highly possible that you won't actually move until July at the earliest.JV_21 said:I want to put my house on the market in April or May and buy another one when I have an offer.0 -
Correct and for one or two months I'm better off on the SVR. My concern is if it takes longer than that. I found a fixed of 2.29% or a tracker at 1.15% (base+0.65%). Neither have an ERC.

You could do a product switch with your current lender, but remortgaging to a new lender sounds risky. I swear there was a thread on here a few months ago about someone who did that a few months before selling, and it caused problems because the land registry hadn't updated the mortgage charge record to the new lender yet.0

Are either available from your existing lender, or would you have to remortgage to a new lender?JV_21 said:

I would suggest switch to a product with no ERCs with the same lender. It will be much cheaper than SVR and you are not tied in.0

Those deals are with other lenders. My current lender doesn't have products without ERCs unfortunately.kingstreet said:
