Help advice with mortgage

I currently have an old Together Northern rock mortgage, then it was passed to tulip mortgages and now engage credit, i have £24,500 as a secured loan and another £9,414 unsecured left. I used to pay £500 a month but with the intrest rises its now £600, I have 6 years left, is it worth remortgaging.
I had been told in the past I cant because the mortgage is made up of 2 loans.
Any advice please

    How much is the property worth?  Nothing to stop you remortgaging for the total £35k ish if affordability is ok, in fact you'd struggle to get a mortgage for only the secured element due to the small amount left.  Any reason why you've not remortgaged before given the excessive interest rates you are no doubt paying?

  • Hi Sammy, 
    I have always been told I couldn't remortgage or change lender because of the 2 loans on the house, when northern rock gave us the 100% mortgage was for £80,000, £50,000 was secured and £30,000 was unsecured, the house is worth about £135,000 and ive got £34,000 left. The intrest rate I'm paying is 9% now so payments gone from £495 to £600 since all the interest rate rises.
