So as the Olympic opening ceremony continues in the background we're left thinking about our housing situation. The idea now is that we keep this one, remortgage to rent it out to raise the money to buy our little palace. Renting out the wifes house will pay for itself and be a nice investment for the future and we can still afford to move to a bigger place in a nicer area with a garden. When it comes to buying we have managed to narrow the choices down to two, doth need work but one is slightly bigger than the other. The smaller one is owned by an old lade, it's very old fashioned and needs a whole new kitchen and bathroom and general updating but it's clean and well looked after. The other one has loads of space but is really tatty and dirty. The kitchen and bathroom are modern but are falling apart and we would rearrange the walls upstairs to make better use of the space. While my heart says one and my head says the other I'm trying to picture them both finished. I thought last summer finding a house would be easy but in reality it is a lot harder, or perhaps I'm just being picky!
The few days away was opportunity for both of us to think about the best way forward and having talked about it today it looks like we have both come up with the same idea.
