Actually the exchange rate with Canadian dollar was a concern when I had my original plan. That's out the window.
It was £1 = $1.82 for a long time now it's $1.62ish
We do have a small mortgage in Italy. so the payments each month have only varied about £20 a month during this Brexit phase.
as usual I make it all about myself
are there events that would possibly make buying a house a bit more affordable? as this doesn't seem to have been affected so far.
