PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

"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.0

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 luck0

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.0 -

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?Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

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