    I don't often comment but I think it worthwhile for you to speak with a Mortgage Broker just so you know what is feasible:  from your comments there are two issues with mortgage financing; number of years to repay and the monthly amount you will need to pay. Until you know these factors it's impossible for you to explore the available properties.

    One other thing, a new bathroom doesn't necessarily have to be that disruptive, obviously I've no idea as to the work needed but I stayed with family for one night when mine was done, you could consider maybe a travel lodge or similar?
