    Candygirl, I am sorry about your Dad.

    Modern demographics say that someone who reaches the age of the OP's parents in good health has, barring unforeseen events and unfortunate accidents, a likelihood of reaching their century or more. One wonders just why they need this £150K - a lot of money.

    I can't believe some people.
    Thanks hun xxx;) :D

    I think what the OP means is, can they take out an interest-only mortgage, get £150k cash, pay the mortgage out of that cash and give "the rest" to the parents. How he would work out what "the rest" is, I don't know, since an interest-only mortgage is infinite.
