Take a real example. Monthly repayments on a mortgage of £225,562, with a 25-year term, and an interest rate of 0.5% are £800.

To increase repayments to £2,000 per month, the interest rate would need to increase to 9.69%.

In other words, this didn't happen.

You can get pretty close without really trying funky stuff.

£220k @ 1% is ~ £800/month
£220k @ 8.5% (some banks have SVR around this) ~ £1,800/month

If he can't remortgage for some reason then he can end up stuck on SVR. It's been happening to a lot of people.

A lender would normally look at job stability. I wonder what the assessment of his future earnings are?
