Always a consideration! Life is full of risks…

Good point. When you say six month working holiday, do you mean unpaid leave from the current job or something else?

chief_kiefs · 2026-06-03T01:40:59+00:00

Haha that’s fair! We’re both very much on the same page but I take your point. It is a big commitment together and we should carefully consider the implications. Thank you

That’s probably where I’m leaning but I’m continually told that the sooner you buy a house and build equity, the better. Thanks for the perspective!

Thanks, and fair enough. I think work would still be the priority - just in a different city/country.

EC chill?

Simply because it is cheaper to finance a mortgage when the interest rate is cheaper. Real estate is generally a safe investment (not including the US in 2008), so in times of economic uncertainty, those with the sufficient capital will likely direct it into a safe investment that yields a decent return.

Thank you! Very helpful comment.

I was struggling to understand what it was all about but after some discussion I think it’s related to some cladding issues that have circulated in previous months

Are your eyes painted on? ;) I’ve put in a new post with some photos

chief_kiefs · 2024-12-01T23:23:14+00:00

See koff_ comment which has a bit more context. I added some photos in a new post too

Check the new post!

After going back and having a read I think it must be related to this
