There are many people who find themselves in my position

 

. Interest only mortgage coming to the end and there are either insufficient funds or no funds to repay the capital sum.

 

In my case I took out a 10 year Interest Only Mortgage ( Idon't know why it is only 10 years)

 

I have contacted Santander a few times over the last 2 years to see if they would extend the term but they just refer you to customer services to start a whole new loan

 

. I no longer fit any criteria to get a loan

. I have never missed a payment even though I am on a very high rate compared to other lenders or teaser rates

 

. I am now retired with a younger wife and four-year old son

 

. I got until February 2017 to find an answer to my problem.

I have read the FCA guidelines 2013 but its just guidelines and Santander doesn't wish to play ball.

Anybody got any ideas?

I see some Mortgage Lenders are offering to extend their mortgages.

The FCA guidlines says something about treating the customer fairly and coming to a reasonable solution.

I don't see why they just can't extend the mortgage. I've never missed a payment.

Also I no longer fit their criteria to get a whole new loan.

I have managed to get a few 10 year interest only buy to let mortgages extended, every time the length increased so did the monthly payment.

 

It seems lenders use it as a opportunity to get more money out of you although my experience is its time consuming an stressful an outcome is not guaranteed ( but more likely to grant extension of length if lender getting increased payment), annoying thing is I do not know why they were all originally 10 year loans I would never agree to such a short length nowadays.

 

I think in those days was much easier to get re-mortgages.

 

I would say typically lenders are keen to see a portion of the loan moved onto repayment, all my loans I was not in a position to remortgage due to bad credit file.

 

So I negotiated with the existing lenders an did get advice from business debtline who were very helpful.

 

Hopefully this may help someone.
