Selling, then renting for a few years

Thanks for the reply. Hope you enjoyed your wine. To be honest, the situation is that my girlfriend no longer feels able to live here with the neighbour issues we have (noise and parking, despite my best efforts to get it sorted).
The reason for renting rather than buying again, is that we could always move agian much more easily and cheaply were the same to happen again. Until I win the lottery, you always run the risk of living next door to a bunch of idiots.
So I'm not looking at it from a purely financial point of view, but that does play a part ofcourse. The way i see it, if I get what I need for the house, then I should be able to get rid of most, if not all of my debt in 3/4 years (the time my fix has left) and then I'd be in a position to be able to afford a much better house, hopefully detached!
Maybe I'm just looking for reasurrance that I'm not making a big mistake, but at the end of the day, maybe only I know if I am nor not?
I must go to bed. Cheers.Total Debt as of January 2010: £61,234 :mad:
