    The whole interior needs redoing to be honest. The property currently has six beds, but most of them are odd sizes and not really usable. So the whole thing needs to be reconfigured and much of the roof will need replacing too.

    We bought the place out in the wilds of Surrey a couple of years back with the aim of doing it up as our dream home.

    Now is the time....

    As against all that, I do miss the buzz of London, but my clubbing til 2am days are long over now that I am in my early 40s

    We moved out of London to Surrey when I was 48 (just over 10 years ago), I can honestly say there hasn't been one day that I regretted it.

    You want safe? Then no.
    At 1% they're actually not a bad rate, in comparison to the alternatives...
