Our situation is that both myself and DP had mortgages on homes with our respective exes. When my partners relationship broke down, his ex stayed in their house and eventually sold it at a massive loss causing him to have to go bankrupt. My ex also stayed in the house and I left as he was older than me and was able to keep it on by himself. We’ve rented a house we like in and area we like for years but we wouldn’t be in a position to buy a house of the size we’d need where we want to live for kids schools etc…Now that nursery fees are done, we’re thinking we probably need to have some kind of property, we could possibly afford to buy somewhere small, in another area, make improvements then sell on or rent it out while we stay in our rented house. Is this feasible does anyone know, what kind of mortgage would we need, how much deposit etc…DP has recently gone self employed so I guess I’d need to get the mortgage on my own or wait until he can get one too? Sorry lots of questions but it’s so complicated!
