      DimP,

        No, Rayburns do central heating too. Agas don't - well at least they never used to.

            Seeing as Aga make Rayburn, I don't know how you can make that assertion...

              I don't question putting £20k into house to make it better, but expecting to buy asset with debt, hold it for a period of time then sell at a great profit and thus solve all problems in live is nuts.
              No, I never got into any debt expecting to make any money out of it. Those were just modifications I made in order to turn it into the home I wanted it to be. The only debt I have is just the same as any other average homeowner - the mortgage - and when I took it out that was based on 3.25 X my annual income. Hardly overstretching myself.

                Don't worry, you'll be fine.

                Keep voting Labour and the printing presses will ensure a golden future for us all.
