My DH and I are in the fortunate position of owning our own home in Greater London. My DH also rents out a flat he has paid off. We need to move and have been looking for a forever home. My DH wants to remortgage his flat to pay for the deposit towards it. This proposal has also been backed by a mortgage broker and someone else we know who works in property. My DH feels that our current property will be worth so much more in x years and we will be able to sell it then and pay off our next mortgage. However, I've done some research and can see we would be paying thousands more in stamp duty for a second home. I'm also not confident that the house prices in London will go back up. There is still a lot of uncertainty around Brexit here and I feel that we won't see the crazy increase in prices year on year that we've had again. So I would rather sell up and also have a larger deposit to put towards a nicer house. Has anyone in the property biz got any thoughts on this?
