Hi all,

I'll try to keep this as simple as possible.

I currently have two mortgages:

1. The property I live in

2. The property I used to live in and now rent out

Property 1 has an outstanding mortgage of approx £25'000 with a value of approx. £65'000. Standard capital & interest mortgage

Property 2 has an outstanding mortgage of £105'000 and a value of approx. £105'000 - £110'000. Interest only mortgage (not buy to let)

My partner and I want to sell property 1 and use the equity along with savings to buy a family home with an approx. value of £300'000 using a 15% deposit therefore, requiring a mortgage of £255'000. At this time we will still be renting out property 2.

My current salary is £44'500 and my partner’s is £50'500. We have no outstanding debt and our only commitments are our car (£455 per month) and our two mortgages mentioned above (Property 1: £131 p/m, Property 2: £466 p/m)

Do you think we would be able to successfully raise the required mortgage of £255'000 under our current circumstances?

As an added piece of information the plan is to sell property 2 from April 2015 when the current lease runs out.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

    There is no reason why not based on the information above.
