Mortgage Advice Needed

I wonder if any of you mortgage experts can help. My house & my parents home is on the market. Once we both sell we will have £500k equity between us. We have seen a property for sale at £550k which is BMV as they require a quick sale. My query is that we really want this house as if extended houses in this road sell for £750K very quickly. However the mortgage on my house is already £250k and I could only put down a 15% deposit to secure this house. Is there any type of mortgage or some kind of bridging loan that I could get until we sell our properties as paying out for approx £700k in mortgage in the meantime is impossible.
Any comments would be most appreciated.

Given the equity you have you may be able to get a bridging loan, and roll up the interest, but it is going to be very expensive, and also quite risky as you haven't sold either of your properties yet - if they don't sell for 12 months then it could cost you a small fortuneI am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.
My parents have had an offer and the person who wants to buy is sorting out his mortgage at the moment (should know by today the outcome). He is an investor and will be getting a BTL mortgage and therefore no chain involved. My house is just on the market but should sell quickly as it is in a sought after area. What kind of interest rate is involved with a bridging loan?0 -
Could be anything from .5% - 1.5% per month - quite often with a 1% arrangement or repayment feeI am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
