help please - which mortgage

Hi All,
My current fixed rate mortgage is up on 2nd July and I co-own the property witha friend who will be leaving at the end of the term and selling his equity to me. I have a mortgage product in mind but not sure if there may be something more competative around so would like advice....Apologies if I forget any info/numbers but details stack up like this:

Current Rate: 4.54% interest only (2 year fixed)
LTV: 88%
Salary: £50K
Value of Prop:£ 230,000
Mortgage Req: £202,599 (this includes orginal mortage of around £191K +
£10K to pay to my friend for his Equity)

The HSBC Rate matcher looked very attractive as they informed me that would extend the LTV rate from 80% to 90% if you were an existing HSBC customer but then informed me this was not the case and that they can only do 80%.

I am interested in both repayment and interest only mortgages and am interested to see how much monthly payments would be as on the product i am most likely to go with (I think halifax 2 year fixed @ 5.99%) came out at £1018 interest only and £1300 repayment?

Any ideas or help ASAP would be most apreciated as I need to move fairly quick.

many thanks in advance

    They probably said 80% as thats the max LTV they'll do interest only for (but only if you have a repayment vehicle in place)
