OP...
In your recent thread asking advice about your job situation you said that you needed the additional income that would come with either a promotion or change of job.
Although I agree that it’s far too generalising to say that one should £x amount of equity by a certain age,what with disparities in regional house prices and whatnot,I think it’s also fair to say that £100k won’t actually get you far if you look at buying abroad and all the costs involved.
When you take both the above into consideration (especially with the weighting given the first comment)I don’t really see why it would be sensible for you to buy abroad and rent domestically.
In my humble opinion you would be far better staying a house owner in the UK and using spare money to travel as and when it becomes available. If you have a larger amount free one year,for example,take a long let somewhere.
I wouldn’t agree with this. I don’t think for one minute property prices will tank. They may fluctuate slightly but definitely not tank.
