I did originally say approximately 30% of current mortgage is left and that
the 65% figure is approximate too (actually
64.904584338670761131827155077868%) and to obfuscate the prices involved
somewhat, I'd hardly call ~8k (ie >5% of the purchase price of B)
negligible!
Interestingly, I've contacted my current lender and the options set out by
them were more or less identical to the ones expressed by you, and the
2-mortgages-secured-on-2-properties option actually would work out very
expensive (lender's base rate only on mortgage no 2) should I not be able to
raise enough cash on property A to pay for property B!
So, its most probably back to the drawing board for my plans to enrich my
family. Again! Nevermind. Thanks for all the help.
