    Just checked with mortgage provider, if we were to sell within a year we would take a 5k hit. I'm not sure it's worth it but I'm now facing the possibility of living in a house / area which I don't belong. My family are 600 miles away and I feel like making a fresh start.
    I'm not sure if I could bear to be in the house for another year on my own. Couple selling the house with solicitors fees and removals and costs of finding new place, either way I'm not in the best of positions.
    Not sure to go with head or heart.

    Have you thought about getting in a lodger to help pay the mortgage?

    Do you have a job locally?

    How much us the mortgage compared with your salary each month?

    If the mortgage is £1000 each month then paying £5K to get out may be a good deal as long as you stay 6 months before sale.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
