Apparently there's a scheme whereby you pay a much smaller amount of money per month and live in somebody else's house, with the added advantages of being able to leave when you need to, getting any maintenance done for free, and being able to point and laugh at those worrying over financial ruin due to the Bank of England's latest whim over interest rates.

Might be worth looking into.

I don't really want to hassle of having to rent it out 6 months of the year, although in a good area the short-let rent would be attractive.

Any ideas?

Australia - they seem to have loads of contractors over there over Christmas, and all over here in the summer.
