Actually, I feel certain that remortgaging would be okay aslong as it was done ahead of time. I mean, what if you decided to move house, and took out a bigger mortgage on a similar property? Would that be classed as a loan that might affect the application? Surely not...Food for thought and reason for more optimism.Originally Posted by Iani
Yes, absolutely
According to what I read on UKBA site anyway, in amongst all that amazingly long blurb.
The conditions are that it must be your own money, you must have use of it and it can't be a loan.
I wouldn't be sure remortgaging your house for example would be allowed - classed as a loan.
Oh and you have to hold that money for 6 months
If I was in such a position then this is the type of thing I might look towards to help get me over the line, as it were.
See what the "grown ups" on the forum think....
