Manage episode 516211345 series 3559707
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we break down the mechanics of upsizing your family home. We walk through the classic dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first, exploring the pressures that come with each approach. We cover bridging loans, equity releases, matching settlement dates, and the hidden costs most people don't anticipate. We also discuss how to fund the gap between properties, what happens when you need to service two mortgages at once, and practical strategies like converting your current home to an investment property or temporarily moving in with family.
Listen to this episode if you're planning to upsize and want to understand your options before you commit.
