How important is retaining the family home to you?
we live in an apartment. It’s a 550sq foot. Its called a one bedroom study, its basically a double room and single room, it’s a very small space. For just me husband and I its wouldn’t be the end of the world for us to continue struggling thru but the issue is space!! We just want a house, its hard going up 2 flights of stairs with a toddler & some food shopping cant imagine what its going to be like when I add the new born to that!

What is your preferred realistic outcome?
as I said space is our issue, we have no idea how we will all fit in this apt when baby comes!

We just need a bigger place – I think the only chance we might have is selling and taken NE with us but assuming I could go back to the orgional mortgage value of:

€330,000
-€100,000.00 sale of apartment
= €230,000.00 C/O of NE

= finding a house for a value of €100,000.00 is not possible !

And I assume if bank were to W/O any balance I then wouldn’t be able to take out a 2nd mortgage (not that its possible with my husband’s job situation anyway)

I will be returning to work after 2nd baby meaning we will then have 2 full time crèche fee and a mortgage repayment of €1,542.66 I don’t see how its possible.

Renting our place our is not an option.

Any advice you could offer would be great.

Thanks
