It is important to establish if your lender does permit a second charge to be registered, given that they provide Further Advances I fear the answer will be no.
Have you checked the affordability stress calculation , even though the Paid Rate might be higher than the primary loan the rental stress...

In response to your final question , unless your broker has placed you with a lender who operates Redemption penalties beyond the initial incentive period ( Unlikely) you are perfectly at liberty to switch providers to possibly release any available equity as well as securing a better rate than would...

Hi Propertygoesup
Much depends on whether your lender actually offers Further Advances , not all do so important to check if you are unsure.

You cannot legitimately do this. All lenders and I mean all seek an answer in the application process as to whether the vendor will remain in situ after completion of the sale. Answer No and that is deemed as procuring Finance by misrepresentation.

I regret to advise that there are no lenders who have published within their criteria governing such matters and in such instances if flexibility does exist the lender will defer to its appointed valuer fortheir professional opinion in the same way as many lenders have an apparent aversion to ex-Council...
