Income tax on rental income makes that a trickier choice than it once was. Which is good, obviously. But annoying for anyone living in London and keen to test the waters elsewhere....
Currently considering cashing in everything to get a rental place to replace my wife's non existent pension. Probably shouldnt but it would be easier than starting her a pension from scratch now.
If I left that there London or the southeast I'd be renting my 3 bed semi out and renting up north. Anything else would be madness
