    Im just doing some research on a case. Similar situation in that a DMP has been satisfied, albeit a little longer than yours although the LTV is higher. 
    Rates are around 3% but they only have variable rates. 

    The devil is in the detail, so potentially you might be looking at something decent but it comes with the risk of rate rises.

    Get your house on the market and sell that first, the equity you release will see you purchase your new house outright and you won’t need to worry about a mortgage. 

    A DMP will screw you for years; not months. Further pros, You will escape the 2nd home tax and you will still have funds in savings. Being a landlord is stressful also, don’t do it. 

    Once you have an offer on your house you then start scouring the market and putting offers in on the properties you like.
