    So NN.. when Chucky asked about your other houses, whether you sold them at x3 salary, and you replied x5 average salary...

    Were those BTLs you've sold off in the last 3 years, or previous homes you've lived in earlier in life?


    As I said I have never bought to let.
    One house I did live in over 10 years ago, the other I inherited.

    The reason I sold them at 5 times average salary was because they were above average houses.

    I'm not really bothered, and you probably the same... but to have an cashed-in BTLer now playing all the social conscience cards is a bit different for me.

    it's the born again HPCers that are the ones not to trust - they always have a skeleton or two that they don't like to discuss... :T
