Hi there
Hi there
Any advise would be much appreciated please.
I am a accidental landlord and have been so for the past 7 years. The property is now up for sale.
At the end of April my current fixed BTL mortgage (currently £555 per month and £242k interest only), comes to an end, raising my mortgage to £1186 per month on the variable rate. A new mortgage transfer with the same lender would be cheaper, but it has a redemption charge at £5500k during the 1st year, (and £484 monthly payments).
Can you advise the best thing to do while waiting to sell, bearing in mind the current BTL fixed rate ends in just over 1month.
I also currently have a small (£27k) mortgage on my current flat.
Would it be worth selling/renting out ny flat and moving back to the rental proprty?

I look forward to hearing from you.
