Babyboomer houseshare?

Yes, dogsdinner, that's a good idea. Have thought would like to buy a place with maybe a small annexe in the garden, if I could afford it, then I could rent one unit out separately.

Thought about buying a holiday let? You could rent it out but also use it yourself. Just a thought.

Hi Tanith, am not really sure what I mean either! I am from the mid Wales area, born and bred, so it is my "roots" I want to spend a lot more
time in. I came to London intending to stay for just 2 years and stayed here waaayyy too long ...! However, saying that, I wouldn't give up my London house either so am probably cheating - I want to buy another house in mid Wales with my share of what was my parents' house. Think it's known as having your cake and eating it! Just put this post on hoping that maybe someone already living in Wales might be interested - one can but hope.

Sounds like a nice but problematic idea Tabitha, I love that area and have family in several places in Wales so it would suit me to have a bolt hole down there but being Londoners born and bred can't see us giving up our London house any time soon..
Actually reading your post again I'm not sure thats what you meant? Perhaps I am just a bit dense lol..
