I'm looking at city centre flats
I currently have a 3-bedroom house with a big garden and I use 2 rooms total. And I hate gardening.

I've got 6ish years left on the mortgage and it was pre-boom too, so I could well end up in a swanky flat in the city for less than I'm paying now if it all worked out even okay. And this time I'd get a cleaner in from the start and avoid the nightmare of housework.

Big life change but could well be worth it. Man, I'd have to throw out an entire moving truck's worth of stuff for starters.

Well, that settles it then :)
Edit: Some quick internetting reveals smaller houses in my area priced at £120K (although I won't get that due to tha rundown state of this place) and city centre flats around £130K. So could easily end up with a 10-year mortgage that still costs less than I'm paying now. Woo! This looks do-able!

Get in!
I lived in a house for ten years and it looked like a total effort.
Grass and all that.

I went to Kirkcudbright
And I took a picture of the town cat who died, and bought a hat in a charity shop, and heard an old lady say turrrnips and ate the bestest battered fish ever and drank a Tennent's shandy.
I are now Scottish.

What a good addition you'll be
I've not been over Kirkcudbright way for a while, might once I get my car.

You are correct
It certainly is. You'll fit in in no time.
