If your house has doubled in value you're going to need a sizeable deposit
You're only remortgaging the original value, not the new value - So your loan-to-value will be far lower. You may not even need a deposit at all.

Depending on people's circumstances they may not be able to obtain a repayment mortgage at the end of their interest-only one I guess.
If your house has doubled in value you're going to need a sizeable deposit and if you're already 50 they probably won't give you a 25 year term to pay it off.
So, you're looking at finding a large deposit and needing a high income in order to pay the large repayments.
