discount mortgages for remorgage purposes...

May 14, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all



feeling a little miffed because I was uncertain of the economy when I fixed my 55000 mortgage 3 years ago for 7 years... its a flexible jobbie but has a 1000 redemption charge for first 7 years but at 5.69 % its a bit high by some of todays mortgages



anyway would like to do some home improvements to the cost of about



10000 so am thinking of another mortgage for around 64000

I would like to go with some sort of discounted remortage with a rate of



4.8% for first 2 years

15849836921-1 then jump onto another mortgage after the two years ( rate tart style) but just wondered what the pros and cons are of this or if anyone has any better ideas for me...

sorry if this has been discussed a thousand times already :))



cheers

Do yourself a cost benefit spreadsheet and work out the cost difference between the two, remembering to take into account all costs including what it would cost to move again in two years time. The add 25% for time and effort! These things never run as smoothly as one would expect.
