    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just realised he wants storage for his stuff too! How much do you think that will cost? Maybe £20 a month?
    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.
  • Some friends of mine have furniture and personal items in storage (dunno how much) and they're paying £200 a month

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper I've helped Parliament
    They have offered him consent to let for a fee of £250 for 12 months! I have learnt about that from on here, so have been his main point of advice. That and the fact I work in a letting agency. (just on saturdays though, so dont hate me for it)

    Are my figures right? Is he going to spending £7k a year to rent out his house and rent a room somewhere else?


    NO.

    If he stayed where he was there would still be the morgage to pay and the costs of living there.

    The true difference is the EXTRA cost by living somewhere else and renting out

    net rental income+savings(bills) by moving out - cost(rent + bills) to live somewhere else.

    There are still the rirks that the asset value may change

    It sounds as if he doesn't like the house anyway - why go to the hassle of being out of pocket and living in a smaller place AND still being tied to a house you don't like instead of just selling and renting for a bit?
