Own my home, loan to buy another????

I need advice....

I own my home outright (£170,000) and want to take out a mortgage loan to finance purchase of another property to completely renovate and move into then sell my original home to pay off loan and leave myself £70,000 to put in long term savings.

What is the best way to fund this? I live alone and earn £27,900 pa

All advice gratefully accepted.

Many thanks

Sharon

    Remortgage your currently unencumbered property.

    Look for a product with no early repayment penalties so you can pay it off whenever you like and not pay thousands for the privilege.
