EA fees, removal costs and stamp duty on a new property would be far more than any saving you are going to make on energy costs with a smaller property. You might break even in a few years...

out of curiosity which country are you thinking of emigrating to?xzibit said:Yes. Currently in discussions to head back home overseas.

One wonders if it will end up being cheaper to go on year round cruises than actually owning a home!! At least the price of a ticket covers everything!0
