What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
we want to trade up, we are comfortable with monthly repayments of 2100,but the house market is gone crazy here and we have been outbid multiple times, now looking at 2600 to 2800 a month can we afford this comfortably. I am concerned if we don't sell now we will be stuck with our current property as it was in negative equity for over 10 years and I fear that will happen again. I'm not sure if the houses will come back to a more normal price any time soon
