    Thanks for your replies. I did look into the rentals around here and they were as expensive, if not more than my mortgage, for the same home as we're in - ish, so I guess although I wont be paying a mortgage, I know I can pay the rent, although IF I find a place I could be doubling up on the rent and mortgage. (But I did say the 'up side' of that was at least we have somewhere to live while the 'dump' is being transformed!)

    As for moving up norf. I couldn't, I have too many ties here that I can't leave, I'm a dedicated charity worker, and without me they'd fold.
    What a diplomatic way of saying northerners smell :D

    But on a more serious note, yes, you should put your property on the market if you do want to move - otherwise if you risk losing the home you want to buy because you can't release the funds from your current property.

    I'm new here, but I do know that no-one here's qualified to give me the answers...
    Great entrance, what do you do for an encore?
