What really needs to happen is for prices to be maintained where I live now
and for them to drop dramatically in the area I want to move to.

Ha that's it isn't it.
I want my house to go up, and every other house to go down!

That said if you're going to move up to a bigger or more expensive house, then a price drop could work in your favour.

I want to go the other way in about 4-5 years
Our house is too big and I think I may be able to go mortgage free if I play it right

We are lucky not to have a mortgage, but this is due to my in-laws generousity rather than an astute financial management on my part.

Marrying an old man is another good way to get mortgage free.

I'll bear that in mind

It's not for everybody, to be fair
In fact, you could go the other way and marry the old man's widow after she's got the house to herself.

Are you asking me to marry you here?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 21 Nov 2011, 11:31, Reply)

I don't think so.
Would your wife let you, if I was?

I'd take a guess at not

We will need to get a mortgage at some point when we move to somewhere bigger, but the LTV % will be < 50%

Excellent!
I've just got below that a year ago for mine meaning my rate drops to the lowest it can do

The houses I'm looking at are worth slightly more than twice the value of my house
But sadly they are not twice as big. I could live with a slight drop in prices as I don't owe very much on my current mortgage, so would only be borrowing approximately 70% of the new house value anyway...

where's my PE kit?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 21 Nov 2011, 11:31, Reply)

If you had got it out of your bag and put it in the laundry basket, it would be clean and in your drawer.
I suggest that you look in your bag, but I don't expect it will smell very fresh...
