We recently bought a 3 bedroom bungalow (in need of upgrade) on 2 acres funded by a credit union loan of €50k at interest rate of 11%. We only required €35k in the end so the other €15k is sitting in my shares at present because if we cant get a mortgage we will do up the original bungalow with this money. Paying €845 per month. Title absolute on deeds.
We have got planning permission for an extension and upgrade of wastewater treatment plant.
We own another house which is rented out at present, mortgage owing is €140,000 value is approx €100,000 so roughly €40,000 in negative equity. On a tracker mortgage. Rent is more than covering the mortgage. I am uncertain as to a tracker transfer mortgage as I dont think the rented house would sell quickly. (dont you need to sell within 6 months)
We are renting elsewhere, paying cash, €400 per month, no record.
My salary is €37,000
Husband is self employed, profit 2015 €36,000, 2014 €23,000, 2013 €17,000
2 kids
Savings of €11,000 secured against credit union loan.
Approx another €12,000 already put into house, getting planning, clearing site and laying foundations for extension.
My question is can equity be released on the property we own to fund a mortgage. Looking for approx €120,000 to build extension and clear credit union loan. Any ideas welcome.
