Thanks guys, your are spot on. One other downside is the risk of loosing your house if you can’t afford to pay your mortgage if you loose your job or get sick and unable to work. To mitigate this, save an emergency fund to cover your bill for 6 months, take out the right insurance to protect you and your assets.

It's a good thing to buy a house especially if you have children. A house bought in the 1990s in London for around £70,000 and 30 yrs later, it costs about £270,000-300,000. So for the children they'll get quite a lumpsum when they inherit the house. Prayer is important. God can move people without you having a hand in it as such. Stay blessed. Zim/UK.

You are not tired to a particular place, all you need to do is tell an estate agent and they will rent it out for you. The proceeds from the rent is used to pay the mortgage and then you move! 😅😊😊 You didn’t think of this, did you?

If the house increases in equity, you can resell and take the profit. The profit from the sale of a residential property is also free of capital gains tax. Or you could remortgage and use the profit as a deposit on a rental property

Additionally if you do remortgage you could remortgage on to a buy to let product and let out your property. You can then use the money you get to buy a new home of where the costs make sense and suit your needs.

You won’t be able to find that interest rate now. Make sure you get a fixed rate so that you can plan and budget. Don’t over extend yourself in terms of your mortgage as mortgage rates won’t go down as low as Tochi’s again. In 1980s the interest rate went up to 15-18% and many people could not afford to pay their mortgage and they lost their house.
