Is 150k a large mortgage?

[julesjam]

...for a 4/5 bed house in Scotland, garden, garage, 2 recep etc. worth around 250k

Payments would be around 600/month. We're lucky to have a small mortgage atm because we bought about 8 years ago, so have a lot of equity in the current property, but increasing to 150k would more or less double our payments.

Is this reasonable? I'm trying to convince DH that it's doable but I think he's a bit . Am I, in fact, deluding myself??

150k is a small mortgage imo

Is that an interest only mortgage? - how would you pay back capital? - can you even get an interest only mortgage of that size ?

Not to us, ours is £350 k. But it depends how many years you have put it over, and how much you bring home.

Oh, also, they way we see it is the proportion it is, versus the proportion of the house that actually belongs to you.
