The whole "I could buy X if I lived in Y" is pretty irrelevant and infuriating unless you could transport your current life to Y.

We have sort of done this.

Bought up in Scotland and still travel down for work each week. After Christmas Mrs Beard will prob be up there full time to set up a holiday let and I will move where the work takes me, but hopefully still in London.

It sounds daft, but a Mortgage in Scotland, car, travel and accommodation to and in London, comes in under London rent.

If it works it works but it also sounds like a tremendous amount of fucking about

Yeah, some people wouldn't do it, but if I'm down here on my own I get the Sleeper from Pitlochry around 23-00 Monday night and I'm in Euston before 8 on Tuesday. Then reverse it on Thursday night. Its basically a mobile pub.

Flying is bit more complicated, but we can leave Southwark at 2 and be at home before 7 on a Friday.
