  • Do it.

    My folks bought their first place in France for 200.000Fr. 100.000Fr mortgage on the property. £10k remortgage on their UK home. Place was a wreck once you started looking, cost loads over the years, and had several fundamental flaws.

    By the time they sold it they just about broke even so not a sound financial decision. However, it was a wonderful home and great experience. Sometimes it's important to remember home and life is meant for living.

  • This all sounds like this ad, which I saw last week and can’t stop thinking about.

    About £45k for 2.5 acres up in the mountains near Valencia. Beautiful little town and a gateway to amazing mountains riding.

    But no water or electricity and the building would have to be torn down and replaced, if that’s even allowed!

    But still I dream. Especially as I just got a severance package that would cover a good percentage of it right off the bat.

  • Our pals bought a smashing house in the Andalusian mountains for €100k 15 years ago. They’ve tried to sell it a few times without success. Most recently at €60k.

    Their advice is to just rent something.

  • My little sister has just bought something very similar in the same location (she actually lives out there).
    Would recommend.
