we moved into a house that hadn't been touched, decor-wise, since 1969 last year. we stripped it out, plastered, recarpeted, put a bathroom in upstairs and then ran out of cash. the house desperately needs a new kitchen and our plan is to knock the wall down between the kitchen and dining room to create a shiny new kitchen diner.
our mortgage is up in Sept this year and we're wondering if it'll be possible to add this job to our mortgage. what do we need to have organised before we approach mortgage companies with this plan? I assume we need some sort of evidence that it'll add to the value of the house? any idea how we do that? or is it unlikely that a mortgage company will go for it and therefore pointless?
