    For all you renters out there ...

    Had the estate agents round recently to value the Old Street place. I asked them what was an absolutely realistic valuation such that I could sell tomorrow by being ultracompetitive in pricing. Turns out even being pessimistic, I could walk away with a nice 150K profit. If I waited a bit, even more.

    Which is nice.

    Was there ever a comedy farce in the great series called Carry on Renting?
    Hard Brexit now!

    Also checked what I can rent my new one. After 5% deposit the rent would cover the mortgage plus a couple of pints. I just have to wait for someone like AtW and spend the next 25 years in South Portugal while coming back after 25 years to get my pension scheme.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

        Sorry, I misread it as "for all you rent boys out there". I was just about to get in touch with that snail merchant. Or was it the oyster man?

          I think I will - at 5K less than similar flats. Bet you I get an offer by next week.

              ...ever been through a divorce? Never a better time to rent than when your ex is trying to fleece the living daylights out of you...

              Different things suit different people at different times.

              Older and ...well, just older!!
