    Moving job - sell house to get positive equity or don't sell to avoid capital loss?

    In my mind the capital loss is a perception issue - your house has dropped in value and theres a 140k paper/sunk cost. Every house in the country has dropped in value - therefore your purchasing poiwer remains largely the same. I am assuming your role is moving away from a large town - in...

    returned goods - refund less %

    Are banks willing to increase mortgages?

    Give your mortgage provider a call and ask if they are open in principle to a top up loan. If they are open to it, It makes sense then that it would be worth completing the forms. However the credit criteria will still apply - if you have had a salary cut, would you qualify for the full...
