    mortgage advice please

    Im currently in a 5 year fixed mortgage deal with nrock,having 3. 5 years left on it. Was thinking of moving 5 months back and they would allow me £150,000 just on my income. As it happend the house i wanted got pulled off the market. Another property had caught my eye last week so i gave nrock a ring for them to tell me they wont lend anybody any money and that they would only lend me £108,000, even though my mortgage with them is £113,000. The property i was looking at meant id only need to up my mortgage by £10,000 max and they said because my mortgage with them is %100 that i would now need to have a deposit ( which i dont have ) . id would break even on selling my property so really only need £7000 extra,even if i had that cash they still want a %10 deposit. They are blaming the credit crunch. Is there any legal action i can take against them because the mortgage product i have with them is now pointless and i cant come out of it without paying £4650 redemption fee and if the market crashes slighty then im stuck in my flat because i couldnt afford to sell it at less than what my mortgage is. I feel like im being punished for having a %100 mortgage and although me and my partner earn £55k between us and can afford a bigger mortgage they still wont lend to us without a deposit....arrrrg! OH...and they said if i put £15,000 down my monthly payments would be higher than what they are now.....BRILLIANT LOL

    Re: mortgage advice please

    Hi...no lenders have 100% products now and the one you have will only last until the rate ends and you will have to suffer the variable rate until your equity rises. This can happen through the actual payments and the housing market, and until that time you will have to stay as you are. The only way you will be allowed to move without actually having a cash deposit is by downsizing and I presume this is not an option. You like many folks took 100% when the property market was still rising and the fact that the credit crunch has affected the market and mortgage rates and products does not merit a complaint I'm afraid. Market conditions have prevailed here and there are many in the same boat, we will have to wait until at least the middle of next year before any sort of confidence returns.

    Regards
