I’m selling one of my investment properties to fund the development of 3 townhouses on another block of land I have. I’ve never sold before so I have a couple of questions. Do I have to inform the bank that I am selling the property that they have a mortgage over? Can I retain the loan I already have and use it to fund the development.…[Read more]
