Northern Rock End of Mortgaged Deal (Merged Threads)

Can someone advise what the svr is now.
I have a together plan (taken out May 2006) and runs out in May 2009
I also have another problem.
We bought our house for £80k, 3 years ago.
Our mortgage is about £78k and our house worth ~£81k
I think we might struggle to get a re-mortgage.
What do people think?

Exactly the same happened to me, We borrowed 150k with a 10k deposit for a 160k house. We have never missed a single payment but when we came to remortgage in November was told NR would not offer a new mortgage (bet they do now haha!!) and nor would anybody else as the lending criteria had been tightened. My mortgage went from £843 to £1020 and i was worried, luckily for me it is now at £800 ish on the NR SVR but im desperate to be back on a fixed deal, if i could fix now for 10 years i would!! I just like to know what im paying each month!!0 -
No b0rker - any advice is most welcome!
Im not sure if people tell me this to make me feel better but in Dumfries and Galloway where I live, apparently house prices havent fallen all that much but im a bit sceptical about that. Securing a deposit from another source is also tricky....parents arent really in a position to help - we could sell the car but then we would still have the car loan to pay....suppose its a matter of prioritising.
The chances are that house prices have stagnated in D&G. If you actually wanted to sell then you would have to maye drop a large amount off of what your house would have been valued at in 2007. That being the case then hopefully your re-mortgage valuatino would stay quite high though surveyors are apparently knocking a bit off their valuations to cover some losses. Not sure how that would work in your local area.Think sitting on SVR is the only way for us at the moment. Do you think the SVR is likely to start climbing any time soon?
Sadly I have no idea. No one really does. We can all make predictions but no one knows anything for sure. There are certainly more qualified individuals on this site to make such predictions so I just listen to what they have to say on the matter and will play it by ear come September when we will go onto the NR SVR.0 -

We really need to have this cut passed on to reach some parity with a lot of the other banks SVRs. That is assuming that the other banks don't pass it on.0 -
Any news on another cut?English by birth. GEORDIE by the grace of God.0

I have a together mortgage which is due to end this May.
£114 K is mortgage
20k is unsecured loan bit of the together deal
I know the mortgage will come under he SVR which is great as it's current 1% less than my fixed rate. However what happens to the loan part? Is it seperated from my mortgage at the end of the deal and if it is does it come under a different rate?0 -
Hi Pudding
Your unsecured loan will go on the same rate as your mortgage.

Well, I make it around £50 a month I'm going to be saving now. Hope everyone's well, I haven't been around for a bit!0

Hi, so if my rate just now is 5.89% and i pay £478.04 per month - does anyone know how i can work out what my payments would be on the SVR (4.79%) roughly? Sorry if this is stupid question!0
