I am paying £32 per lunar month for insurance on the Plops. Could this be better/cheaper?

perhaps a more telling question would be how it compares to hubbies life assurance

Alchemilla

Plops is much more expensive...

She has been bad today.

KC...here is the list

to reduce the mortgage OR to provide an opportunity for extra income

to be nearer to work or school


to have land around us instead of at the other end of the village.

Car boot fixed (167 quid) 69 quid in sainsbugs.

Going to see two more tomorrow and take Plops for saddle fitting.

Aha! Well, no matter how beautiful your current house is (and I know it is, I remember your photos you posted!) those are valid reasons

Work vs school - school is probably much shorter term than work (tho your littlies are quite little, aren't they?) Hmmm. For young teens (and for you in your dotage , bus routes will play a part ...

Good luck with the search tomorrow.

Its DH's work really. 45 miles and 60-90 minutes each way.

So the first house offered only one thing which was land around it, but I guess #4 reason would be another project to build some more "sweat equity". It did offer that.

Number two
would reduce the mortgage, provide livery and sand school hire potential and be closer to our work, plus sweat equity potential.

Number three offered none except closer to work and so we have discounted it.

Number four tomorrow offers just the land, and closer to school.

Number five tomorrow offers closer to school, land AND a set of potential barn conversions so additional income.

We are being a BIT analytical.

Number 5 sounds very promising!

Karmacat

Thats great! I didn't imagine that your posts on here were the only analysis you were doing, honest!

Number five *does* sound interesting! Good luck with it.

Alchemilla

There is only the slight issue of affording it...but it has been neither sold nor rented out for 24 months, with no lack of trying...

greent

oooh - possibly room for negotiation....?

It sounds like you are doing the right thing. With all those motivations for the move, you need to be analytical. Good luck with house number 5

Number 6 offers a mortgage reduction, land, closer to work and sweat equity potential.
