Complex Mortgage Problem?

pgilc1 I wouldn't get into this if I were you, it will end with a stream of outrageous and abusive PM's like I had.
I posted them on the thread concerned and asked for an explanation but none was forthcoming.
I think you will be able to find a way to sort this, the bank won't run a mile if you ask them what they think. Parents taking an equitable charge and postponing it in favour of mortgage lender is another way of doing what you want maybe.
Good luck with it.Happily an ex mortgage broker!0 -
I think you have a catch 22.
The parents allready can protect their life interest by just owning the place it was/is their land and money that paid for it.
As soon as you want to raise money against the property I think you will have difficulty with anyone having a life interest that is not party to debt.
You probably could get borrowing with all of you party to the mortgage but then a repo could kick you all out.0 -
Why not just sell the existing house and pay back the loan. It seems pretty unlikely that house prices are going to increase much above inflation for a while so waiting for an big increase in value is pretty pointless.0

The housing market for small / med detached houses in our area is totally depressed. We've had various agents out who say it would take 6 months even to generate an offer on the house, and that we'd have to let it go at a 'giveaway price' to get it away.
We're not inclined to do that.
The current status of our own house isnt really the issue. My wifes father has no real issue with us only paying back part of the monies at this stage.
The real issue is ensuring they feel secure that they have a home in their twilight years - hence the inclusion of clauses around life interest, etc.0 -

They wont own the place though, the land and house is being signed over to us.getmore4less wrote: »

We already have unemployment insurance in both our names that pays out decent sums if we are made redundant. We'll probably seek to upgrade that to critical illness insurance too. I guess thats as much as we can do really.0 -

Given the snideness of the majority of your posts on threads, you very obviously have a problem.
But I'll humour you for a moment - What makes you say i'm ducking and diving?0 -
