Hi
This maybe a simple question. I am considering getting out of my apartment which I have owned with a friend since 2003.
She is considering taking on the mortgage (tracker) if the bank agree that her application is successful and she can take it on.
We bought it for 330k. It is now worth 250k and we owe the bank 210k.
Is it as cut and dry as 40k divided by 2 to get my share? Or do I need need to consider costs saved by not going with an estate agent?
i.e. 40k/2 less share of costs that would have been incurred going with an EA (3k) therefore share is 17k.
Should I consider anything like the equity that I have put into the property over the 13 years?
Everything was 50/50.
Should I also consider the fact that she will not have to secure a 20% deposit as she can potentially take on the mortgage. Also the fact the there might be future value in the property.
I am not concerned about the 20% on my side as I am emigrating.
Many thanks
