    "Large" is subjective; a point already made. It is also easily mitigated, at least to an extent. I really don't think room sizes is the issue; finance is.

    But if finance were the issue, why would the OP be so intent on costing themselves likely tens of thousands of pounds to solve it?

    You should be able to port your mortgage to your next property. If the mortgage on your next property is smaller than your current one you may pay charges for overpaying assuming you are on a fixed rate. Good luck

    The rooms are the same size as they were when the OP agreed to buy.

    Why are they suddenly too big?
    I could see the number of rooms may be too many but the size hasn't changed.

    If MIL was involved in the buying why can she just walk away from the deal.? Surely, it has to be a joint decision and responsibility.

    I don't think we have the full story here.

    There are so many questions...…..

    Do we really believe that the OP's lender allowed them to borrow for a house that they could not afford without the MIL chipping in for bills?

    Unless MIL name and OP or wife is on the mortgage and not OP and wife as I guess we all assume?

    Don't confuse them with facts. They are clearly enjoying making stuff up and then accusing the OP of not being truthful.
