Tracker mortgage v's variable


You could try but you might be limited by the 100% mortgage. Not many banks are doing them anymore
 

Will you do it for 250 Tony?
Seriously, You were able to do all the transactions from the Netherlands?
When I remortgaged, I applied by phone, but when it came to the crunch I had to go to my EBS branch and also go to the solicitor for it to be witnessed.
Have things changed that much?
 

Generally there is no need to go near the bank, you will need to get docs sworn but that can be done by a lawyer in another country.

Maybe its just the EBS, but I had to go to the branch, there wasn't an option.
Maybe its done differently elsewhere.

Thanks for all the help and advice folks,

Now back on topic,sorry for the hijack........
 
I've seen some comments where people said you can't switch mortgage providers if you've a 100% mortgage. Is that true? I thought you might be able to switch in a case where the loan to value had gone down to approx 80%?

I am sure you can but I can't imagine there are many people who took out 100% mortgages in the past year enjoying a 80% LTV unless they paid off some of the capital
 
Ok thanks. The 100% mortgage has been for around 2 ½ years now (longer for certain professions).

Even with two and half years, I would question what the LTV is on certain properties with 100% mortgages.

The 100% mortgages for professionals and public sector workers are still on offer with most banks I think.
