Hi Nen, well property prices in the UK are dropping by upto 25% a year, I have sold 2 and it is a cash only market in many places although I do know of someone who got a mortgage after '8 months' having put down a 60% deposit and security of another property. There is no reason yet to believe that this will not continue for a few years yet.
Yes it is lifestyle I am after but I have a young family and need to make money too to pay the bills and so on.
