mortgage advice required please

Hi, i bought my house just under 2yrs ago. I am moving to birmingham for a new challenge As house prices are so bad i don't want to sell it but leave my lodgers to pay the motgage while i buy and live elsewhere. London and country were only able to get me 7.29% (i do have a 10% dep) can anyone think of a particular lender that may be the best to ask?

They also said that my current mortgage will go up as i need to talk to my bank who will want to increase the interest rate! (i was hoping leave that mortgage alone and just pay them their money without the compication of being charged more money!)

I will follw the advice given on the main website pages and ask the others too.

All and any adivce appreciated, thanks for reading my thread.

Cheers V

    Just ask your current lender for consent to lease as a temporary measure.
