Sell your house, bring the negative equity with you – is the new AIB mortgage plan a good one?
BusinessETC ask the question, is this a good move? Personal finance expert Bob Quinn of themoneyadvisors.ie provides the commentary:
A lot of people in their mid-30s, they’re already on the property ladder and are moving into the family home arena, but found themselves stuck with the properties they bought in the boom. This will give them a chance to offload the bachelor or bachelorette pad, while bringing the negative equity with you.
