In January 2010 I found a great house. We could buy it but only if we could complete in 6 weeks. The only way we could possibly do that was rent out our house and get a buy to let loan for the new house. We therefore became reluctant landlords at the mercy of the UK housing market.Everyday the media has news or opinions about house prices and interest rates and these are my only indicators as to whether I am leading my family to financial ruin, bare survival or reasonable wealth and well being.

Garden Delight
The kids are loving the garden at our new house. It is great to see them running around and having fun. The move may have been a financial risk but it is worth it to see them happy.

The Dream House
We had been looking to move for a few years but couldn't find anything that was affordable but better than what we had already got. Our old house had 3 large bedrooms but the downstairs layout was not good, a small kitchen and an awkardly shaped lounge. Most houses that we had viewed had fallen down on bedroom size, usually the third bedroom was just too small.
Finally we found a house that had 3 reasonably sized bedrooms, a good kitchen and lounge and the bonus of a large garden for our children. The location was not fantastic which I suppose brought it within our budget but even then it had plenty of parking which was another plus point compared to our old house.
We didn't think that an opportunity like this would come along again so we were determined to get it, almost at any cost.
