Not what I expected at the moment, especially since I'm still dealing with my weird health issues, and related employment issues.
Anyway, an urgent chap at the front door from my next door neighbour, saying that due to his roof leaking, he is looking to get his replaced, and If I'd be interested in getting mine down as well. It's 1950s ex council houses we are, we are both mid terrace, with a shared roof. I explained I'd need to think it over. Meanwhile I got my dearest sister to pop up the loft, to have a look and yes, there is signs of water entry.
My question is this. Is it likely that I could add on the cost of the new roof £4,000 to £5000 onto my mortgage (Santander), and pay it off over the remaining 15 years? Has anyone did the same? Or is it a case of borrowing money from Bank of Mum...
