    We've started looking at houses. We've two options. Pay around £300,000 for a 3/4 bedroom house on an island within a 10 minute walk of a beach and only 15 minutes from the city by car, or go inland a bit and buy a house right next to a lake for about £100,000 less and then buy a boat at some point in the future but it's a 40 minute drive away from the city. The idea of taking a boat out on the lake interests me but at the same time i'd only use it for about 3 months and i ****ing hate living in the countryside.

    What are the places like over there? do they have space?
    unlike here where most bedrooms once you put a bed in you can't even walk around it.

    Have you considered burning your current place down and being rehoused in luxury at the taxpayers' expense?

    #cladding I love how everyone is a fire expert now. 'it was the cladding' a bit like Iraq war was about 'the oil'

    Burney I am stuck with the same areas coming up over and over again in my search.
    Harlow, Grays, Basildon, Pitsea.

    I may have to take a chance. If I am going to commit to this sort of thing I want a house not a flat. What to do?

    The bedrooms are usually quite a nice size. Big enough at least to get a bed and wardrobes in the smallest room.

    This is the sort of thing we're looking to get https://www.maklarhuset.se/bostad/sv...eferrer=hemnet sornedansjo-237-11731156, although this one has been bid up about £100,000 on the listed price. This is what i ****ing HATE about the Swedish housing market. They list them at prices that encourages bidding wars and the houses end up going for way more than listed.

    * at the expense of seeing your relatives, friends, and neighbours burned to a crisp, suffering from various degrees of burns, getting lung cancer from the inhalation of smoke, and living with a bit of trauma

    I don't like my neighbours and none of my family or friends live near me.

    Harlow? Grays? Basildon? These can't be good ideas, f.

    As far as I can make out, Harlow is a vast retail park in which people also apparently live.
