Help! Remortgage or part pay-off & sell?

Should I remortgage?

My 5 year fix of 4.49% with Bradford & Bingley ends early June this year. I have a mortgage of £72,000 on a house worth about £125,000.

I’m new to selling a house. I’m not sure whether to remortgage or to take whatever I’m offered with my current lender until my house is sold. I know I will want to have sold my house in about 12 to 14 months time. (When eventually I do sell I expect to rent for a period before buying again, as I will be relocating elsewhere in the UK.)

Just to add - I have about £25,000 in cash that I could spare to reduce the mortgage, if it was advantageous to do so.

Any guidance very welcome.

Thanks!

David
