Sadly my marriage has broken down and my wife wants me to buy her out . We own our house outright valued at approx 260K plus 30K savings . I need to find a minimum of 115k buy her half of the house and I'm not sure what the best option is.
I am 53 in good health (touch wood) and would ideally like a pay back period of 15 years .i am in full time employment (28,K / year) with zero debts and excellent credit history . What is the best option to g o for - mortgage ,remortgage ,loan or something different I am unaware of .....I'm very confused and never dealt with money issues / loans before so I'm sorry if I come across naive .
Does anyone know what are the best lenders / deals out there to suit my scenario.... Thankyou in advance

    Is the house mortgaged?

    You wont find a loan for the amount your after.

    Other options might be available.

    For that sort of sum, you're going to be looking at a mortgage.

    For that kind of money it's a mortgage you will need. £115k over 15 years at your age and with your income sounds possible. An independent mortgage broker will be able to go through your options.

    A broker. Loyalty is going to cost you significantly over the years.

    I would see an independent mortgage broker. A decent one will do more than just find you a mortgage they will also guide you through the process. Whereas the person in the bank is just selling you a mortgage rather than giving you advice.
