  • I had to buy a house quickly a year ago - I have a £90k mortgage having put£75k down. At the time I had 20K savings. However after a back injury at work I only have 8k left. I need a new bathroom , I need new windows and I would like a new kitchen.
    To do all 3 things I've estimated I need to find around another 12k . Do I get a loan or can I get some of my 75 k back out of the house ?
    Also have 8k on an interest free credit card that Im paying off
    Speak slowly Im a novice at this !

    Need or want? There is a difference. If it's want, you should wait until you can afford it.
