    Sorry Miggy I'd rather not as I'm not too sure they would like it to be public knowledge.

    OP's other thread:

    He has £40k of debt and a history of missed payments, and want to take out a £75k mortgage on a house that (he thinks) is worth £100k, with the hope of doing it up in a HUTH stylee so that it magically becomes worth £140,000.

  • Why not just get a mortgage for the £24K then rent the property and use the money coming in to pay your debts down?
  • It wouldn't magically become worth £140000 - bungalows in that area are going for £140000 - £150000 (in fact one has just sold for £172500), so I'm airing on the side of caution saying its worth £100000 because it needs new kitchen, bathroom and redecorating.

    I wouldn't be able to rent until I have done the above work to the property
