Hello there
I am in the middle of a renovation that just hasn't worked out - long story, but suffice to say, the time and costs have blown out excessively.
I am trying to recoup some of the costs which I paid for with credit cards, by refinancing the property, even though it isn't entirely finished.
The irony of the refinancing is, that if I did refinance, the interest rate would be lower by 2% and the repayments on the loan (even though it is a bigger loan) are less than the current repayments.
However, because of my outstanding debts, (which I would pay off with if I did get approved for a refinance) are impacting my serviceability.
Is there any way I can negotiate with banks? How do all you property moguls out there start with nothing and convince the bank to assist? It's frustrating!!
Any advice?
Thanks
Edel
