I would appreciate some advice please. I have been offered a site for 125k which I would like to buy with a view to building a new house. Ideally I do not want to start building new house for about a year (subject to obtaining planning etc). I am seeking advice on how to manage the 'transition finance'. I am currently a homeowner. My current financial situation is as follows:
Recent house value 430k
Mortgage balance 95k (15 yrs left)
Car loan 15k (4 yrs left)
Personal loan 9k (4 yrs left)
Credit card 2k
2 SSIA's coming in at 25k
Combined salaries 100k
I do not want to sell my current house until new house is ready. Aside from site cost, new build should cost in the region of 250k, therefore site+new house comes in at 375k (very roughly).
Is there anyway I can finance buying site and building new house without immediately selling my current house. Could I remortgage first for site, then top-up for new build? I would like to clear off as much as possible of all my loans when I finally sell current house - the plan in the long run is to be as close to being mortgage free as I can. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
