Remortgage advice

Hello,

Just changed mortgage product as was due to end at end of March.

Gone on to 5 year fixed rate at 5.63% with Nationwide. There was no product set up charge as we are already with them.

Planning on releasing an additional £30,000 of equity to convert the loft but have been told that will require a product charge of £499 to go on 5.63% fixed term product.

Is it possible to go to another lender to get this £30,000 on a better deal as I have seen less fixed term rates? Or are you stuck with the same lender?

Cheers

    YOu cannot go to a high street lender for a second charge mortgage - which is what you are effectively looking for.

    If you wanted to go to a different lender, the rates would not be as good as the Nationwide deal - staying with them is going to be your best option
