should i get a loan ?
Hi all
Were in the process of selling and once we move into new home we will be morgage free yayyyyyyyyyy :T (not bad at 29 and 35 shouldnt be to smug though we have downsized etc)
I was thinking i want a little extension on the side of the house new kitchen and bathroom etc now we could afford to save about 250 a month but were gonna need about 15k to do the work we need doing.
So sould we jst save may take quite a while to reach that amount or get a loan over 5 years and get the work done out of way ?? Problem with that is hubby is self emplyed and getting any borrowing is always a nightmare
Thankyou in advnce

What about a 15k mortgage over 10 years and pay off quickly with some capital repayments?
You're too young to be mortgage free - make the money work for you and build your equity?0 -

To be honest, it depends what deals you can get!!
If you can get a cheap interest rate, then thats a possitive.
however, it depends on how much you can afford to pay each month as you may have to take it over 7 years, which could be 7 years more commitment!!
do what you feel is right, but most importantly. if you do proceed with a loan, find the best interest rate!!0
