Hi,

I was quite lucky in that nearly 2 years ago I purchased my first property with my other half worth £98,000 at the time. With deposit and payments we now owe around £88,000 on the mortgage.

Very similar houses on the same road have sold for around £140,000 so we are getting ours valued today.

My question is whilst pocketing 50k profit - costs from renovating circa £15k at worst, the housing market is quite expensive at the moment. My worry is if we buy somewhere else and the economy goes downhill as per a lot of people's concern with Brexit then we will end up with a new property that's lost a large amount of value.

Can anyone offer any expert advice? This really isn't my forté

I agree with Jscott.

If you're trying to get into real estate investments do that.
If you just want to "capitalize" on the gains, then hold the property.

It's not really an asset, if you guys live in it, and its not making you more money than it costs (i.e renters paying you to live there, versus you living in it).
