Nationwide rates have dropped since…. Help please

MortgageQ · 08/02/2023 21:19

I recently reserved a new 5yr fixed (4.39% with 1K product fee) mortgage deal to begin in June, with Nationwide.

Since then, i have applied for additional borrowing and have been accepted.

Now, 5yr fixed rates have reduced- 4.24% (£1K product fee) or 4.34% (no product fee).

My question is, if i were to cancel the reserved deal and reapply for the new rate, could i ‘freeze’ my additional borrowing application so that i don’t need to cancel that/reapply - and then confirm/proceed once the new deal is in place?

Purely from a loan-to-value point of view, it makes sense that the additional borrowing is separate as increases the LTV and as such, rates are higher - i would rather pay this on just the additional borrowing vs the full mortgage amount, as the new rate and additional borrowing combined would mean i pay higher rates on a larger amount.

They will all fall again before June, don’t worry about cancelling the lot.

Please call them now and ask if you can have the new deal. Or even use a broker. Rates are expected to go up more before they come down.
