My wife and I currently have a tracker mortgage on the house we have lived in for ten years now. We have been renting out our former house in Dublin since we moved, and so far we have been lucky with any tenants we've had.
The value of the rental property at peak was around 450k so I suppose it's worth around 180-200k now. No mortgage outstanding on it.
Current repayment on the house we live in now is 1200 pm (11 years left). About 140k left to pay. (Borrowed 267k in 2004)
Current rent is 1000 pm. I put 300 euros aside each month to pay costs on rental house, leaving net contribution to our mortgage of 700 euros approx.
With the supposed uptake in house prices, we were considering selling the rented house around this time next year. Looking to be mortgage free again.
So the question is, would it be a good time to sell, taking account of selling costs, and capital gains tax due etc?
Any replies would be much appreciated.
