Re: frustrated
It may help to know that house prices are coming down here. Not sure where you plan on moving to but the west coast of canada is experiencing a falling real estate market.
So at least any losses in the UK may equalize gains on this side of the pond.
Good luck

Re: frustrated
Sorry to hear your struggles, but like the guy from Dukinfield said, what losses you'll get on your house there, you'll find a similar reduced priced house here...and Nova Scotia is extremely reasonable for house prices.
Good luck

Hi, I am originally from Dukinfield and my brother lives in Denton.
Is your brother's name Jack Frost? He's a policeman and lives in Denton. He's been on TV a goodly number of times. A snarky old bastard!

Re: frustrated
I let the UK in 1989 and lived in the US- Miami/San Diego. I met my ex-wife in San Diego and moved to Vancouver in 1993. I never felt settled in the US and found Vancouver was an easier transition - Canadians are a lot like Brits - Yanks not so much so. I joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police about 9 years ago.
Moving halfway across the world has its plus and minus points, i personally have never looked back and have developed a profound respect for Canada and its people. There are no yobs over here. I have never felt threatened - unlike every weekend in Ashton or Stalybridge.
Being away from family has been difficult at times but you adjust. Somethings are better- some are the same and some are worse. It all depends on your own situation.
I should imagine that you could buy a terrific house in NS. I would consider renting, since the market had not found its bottom yet. Bearing in mind that prices have only just started to come down here.
Good luck
