Housing pipe dream?
 
Hi

Are we dreaming to much/seen to many films etc, to expect to move to Canada (Alberta/ Edmonton) and expect to buy (eventually) the preverbual "house on the lake"???

In England we have a 5 bedroom 2500 sq ft house in 0.75 acre of land.

Joint Uk income is about £70K.

We could (? over selling at moment) sell up and leave the uk with about £200k cash.

Are we thinking a dream?

Have you considered anywhere else?

We managed similar with less equity than you're estimating :)
