Remortgaging out a HTB loan

I've been looking into HTB mortgages and my main concern is having to pay back that lump sum after 5 years before it starts gaining interest. Lots of people have mentioned "remortgaging it out" but I wondered what everyone's opinions are on this? An average 4 bed family home around our way is £250k, meaning a 20% loan would be £50k - that's a hell of a lot of money to save up and pay back in 5 years.

When do you need to start paying in back before you start paying interest.
The interest payable is modest. Less than £30 a week on your example.I am a Mortgage Broker

Dont forget that once that 5 years is up isnt a Repayment Loan its Interest only, unless you pay it back as Staircasing repayments; either 50%, or, the full amount of the H2B element. So 25k or 50k in your scenario.0
