You need to see a mortgage specalist or an independent financial adviser.

I'd recommend you see a mortgage advisor at your local bank.

This web site is considered the best impartial consumer site in the UK

It will make a good starting point.

Whatever you do DO NOT go near people who call themselves "financial advisers" or mortgage advisers" they are just looking to sell you insurances to make commission.
