I keep fantasising about being given Mrs Glovers parents house in Harpenden. It's pleasant enough, on the train to Lon and next to the M1 for the Midlands. Unfortunately it's not going to happen as they're downsizing to free up cash. Not sure where that's going, might see if the wife will lend me a tenner...
I know it's not for everyone but I'm glad I'm off the London rollercoaster. We shipped out to Hertfordshire and houses here are showing some increase in value (5-10% in 6 months) but in the current market, how can you put down any roots in London when you might be priced out of upgrading a few years down the line?
