I cannot begin to tell you all how upset I am about this, all I have thought about every day for the 12 months is the hope of a better life in NZ. We have had some fantastic advice from so many of you and I would like to thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.
Finally I would like to wish all of you currently trying to sell in the UK the very best of luck, its a tough time but it will all work out in the end.

My biggest fear about all this was having to play the "what if" game in 20 years time. Looks like I will now
