For those in need of a mortgage refinance, the news continues to get worse. Many are finding that their dropping home values are making it nearly impossible to get a mortgage refinance, especially if they do not have enough equity in their homes. In this case, there is not much that can be done to secure a mortgage refinance. Consumers in this position are being encouraged to shop around for a mortgage refinance with many different banks to increase their odds of approval.”The small percentage of borrowers with a 100%/100% plus mortgage do need to consider their options very carefully in the current economic environment to ensure that they do not lose out financially. If you don’t have to sell up, it might be best to stay put for the time being. If you need to remortgage in future months, try and pay as much of your mortgage off as possible now and aim to have at least 5% equity in your property. You should also speak to your lender about its maturity products and work out how much extra it would add to your repayments to revert to your lender’s SVR,” said Pauline McCallion, the editor of the monthly financial publication, Your Mortgage.
