Buy to Leave Empty

You'll have to factor in full council tax, gas, leccy, water, TV licence, insurance (often expensive if the property is left empty for long periods), maintenance.

Are you sure a Premier Inn is not cheaper than a bedsit in Brum?

No I'm not sure, hence the question.

But I was thinking somewhere pleasant (i.e. not Brum) rather than AtW's bedroom

Somewhere that, at a push, could double as a holiday let perhaps? I dunno, maybe I am talking bollox.

In my experience wherever I live it's always 90mins plus to my temp place of business...

Perhaps I'm less picky about where I contract?

Milton Keynes is midway between london and brum.

Lovely for holidays.

There are lots of nice villages around Leicestershire area that have good transport links to London.

Anywhere here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?client...,0.445976&z=12 is nice.

Quite, I could open a tea shop in MK perhaps as well.

Sockpuppet: that was my thinking

Buy and rent out 'till you need rather than leave empty.
