Luckily I bought our house when I was on my own, and paid £23500 for it. They are now going for £85-90000. Although I am gutted we remortgaged we still make a huge profit. We are looking again for a bigger house with a garden.

Own - 4 bed mortgage £60k property worth around £150k now.

We saw an independant mortgage advisor that cost us about £250 but she found us the best rate for what we wanted and did all the paperwork for us and once we got the agreement letter from the Building Society we started to look for houses and now we're on our 2nd house.
Would love to move again but can't be arsed lol.

I would also suggest that you see an independant mortgage advisor, although you shouldnt have to pay. A lot fo larger estatge agents have an in house advisor who is not affiliated to anyone, and gets paid by the bank/building society you decide to go with (if you choose to) so you dont pay. They will also explain all the differnt types of mortgage to you and what would be best suited to you etc so you can make an informed decision.
