    It doesn't solve the long term situation though.

    The OP cannot afford this mortgage in full and will, at some stage, have to sell up and move downmarket in value or rent.

    OP - there's not a specific rush forcing you to do this, but sooner or later it is inevitable unless there is a material change to your circumstances.

    Good luck.
