We currently have mortgage on our home but would like to release some money to buy a new house.
Current house - 350K, mortgage of 197K
Future house - 650K
Would like 50K towards buying the new home (by borrowing more)
What are the options other than selling this current house.

Salary per year - 160k
Debt excluding mortgage - 15k
10K deposit, was hoping to free up some equity from our current home
It looks more like selling our current house to buy the new one.“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

Do you want to be a Landlord ?
Do you know whats involved ?
Do the maths work with the TAX changes to mortgage interest !
Do you want £800,000 of debt ?
Would a £650,000 home look better if you put down a £130,000 deposit ( 20%) and cleared your debts.
Dont forget the stamp duty on £650,0000 -
