Originally posted by Manic View PostMe too, however taking comfort in the knowledge I sold previous house at the peak too.
However I was quite close to renting and having none which was always the master plan. I cracked under nagging Mrs and new baby strain PLUS I knew you can never lose with bricks and mortar
