I have been a longtime lurker and have found the forum invaluable over the years. I need some advice

House 4- Just inherited and going through probate will be sold and our share should be roughly 130000-140000k

House 3 - Tracker (0.8 %) roughly 12 years remaining
House 4- NA
Ages of children:

Life insurance:
Mortgage protection on PPR and some union and credit union cover. widows and orphans through work
What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
Do you think we are over stretched with our finances?
What should I do regarding property 3 ?
The third party has offered to buy me out of our 2006 agreement. The signed agreement is that either one of us purchases the property from the other party or we sell the property on the open market. The third party still wants out if I do not sell. Therefore I will have to take over the full mortgage. The bank will allow a joint to joint or joint to sole with no change on the terms mortgage product if I can satisfy there terms. I have invested roughly 60 k in 2006 in this property. The property is on a very good tracker mortgage and not in negative equity. I will soon inherit 130/140 k which would potentially allow me take over the full investment or would I be better of getting out and selling to the third party. I was hoping to recoup some of my initial investment as the market is rising and the house is in a good location, easy to rent and taking a longer term view to recoup my investment
What do you think are my best options ?
