THINKING OF MOVING HOUSE BUT WHERE TO?
As the thread suggests
and please dont laugh as this is the wifes grand plan
we pay off our mortgage and buy a bargain property
i reckon if we sell up and move into a property costing 100,000 we will be sorted
so...................... scoobynetters any bargain properties out there
im looking for 3 good sized bedrooms , hopefully a country location as i have 2 dogs.
Plus points are im not bothered about commuting anywhere as I work from home . The only thing i need is a post office nearish and a fast internet connection
I WAIT IN HOPE

For example - Carnoustie (the open golf championship course)
TSPC - 7 Westfield Street, CARNOUSTIE
2 bed semi - £89,000

Would you not be better off in an expensive house? If prices keep rising, you'll have less assets surely? 
Ie:
if your house is worth £200k and it rises 20%, you'll have £40k more assets.
if your house is worth £100k and it rises 20%, you'll have £20k more assets.

Its also like saying
if your house is worth £200k and it falls by 20%, you'll have £40k less
if your house is worth £100k and it falls by 20%, you'll have £20k less

I was just pointing out that he'll probably be worse off long term, so if he's doing it to save money it might not be a good idea.
Also if he moves to a cheap area, the chances are that house prices will rise less in the future than where he is at the moment.

my brother lives about 1 hr away from there so it might be a case of packing up and selling the house and moving there
only hassle is it is very very hot and little babies dont like heat so now may not be the best of times to re locate
flying out in november to sort it all out

They dont underbid in Scotland like they do in England, people who are interested have to put in a closed bid in order to ''win'' the house from other competition!
The usual offers over are normally 25-30% over asking price!
That means you can bid say £120,000 for the house if you really liked it and find that the price is good enough. Later only to learn that there were only 2 offers, 1 of £105000 and your 1 of £120000. Meaning you have just blown £15k up the swanny. (Well £14999 as you could have bid £105,001)
Some houses for instance though and you can put in the offer of £120000 for this house only to be 3rd/4th best bidder!
Its a joke buying property in Scotland with the stupid offers over thing

Much better system seeing a house priced at say £150000, to go in with a bid and haggle and get it for £145k than to overbid leaving you in negative equity.
For instance house is worth £150,000 but you have just bought it for £170,000 ''as you really liked the look of it and didnt want outbidding''
I'd much rather prefer to stick with the english/welsh way of buying a house
Oh and im scottish lol
Moved down here 6yrs ago!

I like your plan though, no mortgage just think you could go on a holiday every month instead.

rma26 maybe you could right a book of fables or lies
you could call it "rma's big book of bollocks "
you could have your semi pro boxing career details
(just how is a boxer semi pro anyway?)
do you have a paid fight then give the money back?
or is it just another downright fib like your 2000,000000 record collection and your 3 cd turntables that you know nothing about , have no pictures of and say that you dont like anyway
you couldnt lie straight in bed ..........
haha you have a problem with the truth , and reality is a stranger to you
oh and you are losing your hair and need to diet you bald fat lieing ****
