Thanks again for the helpful responses. I could also buy a flat here where I am abroad, it'd be half the price of back home and would save me paying rent. I only have a 2 year contract though where...

Re: Buying place in home town

Thanks for those responses. I am no way rich, it's a small modern flat (mill conversion) but would hope to buy it up front without a mortgage. Is this not better though than having the money sat in...
