We always believed that the rent in our current property had been fixed at the same level for four years because our landlord is some sort of humanitarian philanthropic property magnet. I have discovered this morning that we are infact merely paying over the odds.
We can expand our horizons (and our garden potential) and pay less than we currently do now. Its true that the area we will have to move into is slightly less attractive (and it is a very 'slight' less.) We will swap the Common for a garden and John will have to walk a bit further to the Tube. Oh and we might have to pay for parking (now, that is a pain in the arse.)
We're off enmasse to view some properties this evening and I'm quite excited, though a little nervous. I can get carried away. We once almost rented an unsuitable flat because I fell in love with the vegetable patch.
Fingers crossed my dream house with a huge kitchen will have french doors leading out onto a big lovely garden (one property we're going to see has a summer house).
I'll keep you posted.

that sounds brilliant - and Jimi can only benefit from the exercise...
Oh, but everyone is leaving Toots.
no- we're not leaving toots- just moving to the other side
move to streathers minks - we're moving a couple of streets and getting a one bed with a garden for >drumroll< £650 and my mates live in a beautiful 2 bed WITH GARDEN on a lovely street for £850.
em- I think its more than likely we'll end up on the Wandsworth side of Streatham. Especially if we can have a big house with a garden
No no ... Merton Park is for you!
