What are my options if req'd ?

Hi (new to forum),

we are downsizing & have just had an offer accepted on a property & a move in date towards the end of July.Our house has just gone on the market & the estate agents are confident of a quick sale which would enable us to be mortgage free.

I've put down our figures below & want to know our options in the worst case scenario i.e. our house doesnt sell in time,

New house: 130K

Existing house value: 200K

Existing mortgage: 42K (11 years to run).

Earnings: 45-50K.

Obviously we are trying to avoid Bridging loans etc.Could we get a short term mortgage or secured loan ??

Any suggestions greatly appreciated,just trying to plan,

Thanks.:confused:
