    What is wrong with being near tbe sea? I would love to be able to hear the ocean
  • The only things I wouldn't compromise on when buying was being on an 'estate', wanting a garden and ideally mountain / water views.

    Aside from that most of you would hate my home 😁 main road out the front, railway line out the back, no on-site parking, middle floor end flat but my goodness the views are fantastic as is my private garden.
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.

    I don't drive and take a buttload of tablets (which is why I can't drive!) so if its not within walking distance of a pharmacy, it's useless to me. 
    You know they deliver for free these days.
