worth remortgaging?

A question about : worth remortgaging?

Apologies in advance for my limited financial knowledge. I would really welcome any opinions on my mortgage situation.

I co-own a flat and a BTL flat with my partner. Our mortgage has 7 years to run and has Ј30,000 left on it. The BTL is interest only for Ј100,000 with 11 years left on it. Both mortgages are cat mortgages on the standard variable rate. Each flat is worth about Ј450,000. The flats are in the same block.

Electoral Roll & mortgage application advice please

A question about : Electoral Roll & mortgage application advice please

We have just sold our property, have moved in with family, and have found a new build which would be ready at the end of March. When I called and changed my address on electoral roll the other day, they said it wouldn't register until April 1st. Is this now going to affect our mortgage application as we need to get moving with applying? I've got a feeling from what I have read it's going to throw a real spanner in the works... How do we get around this?

Thanks in advance

I have Ј20k in savings which I will be using to pay OH (amount agreed by us both, reflects the Ј50k deposit I put in).

AIP declined

A question about : AIP declined

Hello,

Me and my partner applied for a mortgage. We have Ј20,000. The house is Ј193,000 new build so a further 20% from help to buy.

Me and my partners history isnt great. I have a default (paid) from 2 half years ago by Orange for Ј105. Nothing since then.

My partner just has a few payday loans from last year.

We went to a broker who looked at both credit files and said potentially meet the criteria for 80-85% mortgage.
