Remortgaging with a secured loan

Hi

I am with NR and applied for a secured loan 3 years ago. I am coming to the end of my 2 yr mortgage term at 4.99% in July and want to leave NR for another lender. Of course it won;t be anything like 4.99%, but will see what good deals i can get.

Will I have to pay off the secured loan before I leave NR or can I just remortgage with another lender???

I have plenty of equity in my home, so i should be welcomed with open arms by what mortgage deals are still left out there. I was going to remortgage, but would have cost me £2k to do so at the time!!

thanks for your time, any advise would be appreciated

    I presume you are getting the secured loan at a discounted rate because you have the mortgage. If you don't pay off the secured loan, its interest rate will shoot up to something like 17%.

    A better option would be to increase the mortgage to cover both the current mortgage and loan, if your income can justify it.

    In answer to your question, you can carry the secured loan over via a deed of postponement as long as the new mortgage lender and the secured loan provider allow it.
