You will need to go through the same process of finding a lender and applying for a new mortgage.
When you inherit a property, you have a few options, one of them is to remortgage it. However, the process of remortgaging an inherited property can be slightly more complex than remortgaging a property that you have owned for some time.
Before you can remortgage an inherited property, you will need to transfer the ownership of the property into your name. This will typically involve a legal process known as probate, which can be time-consuming.
You will also need to consider the value of the property and the outstanding mortgage balance. If the property is worth less than the outstanding mortgage, you may not be able to remortgage it or may have to pay a higher interest rate.
It’s recommended to seek professional financial advice before remortgaging an inherited property, as the process can be complex and there may be tax implications. A mortgage broker can help you to understand the options available and to find the most suitable mortgage deal for your specific situation.
