If I rent the house out, there is a whole load more £££ involved because I'd need to find somewhere to rent myself, and from what I've seen so far, they are all sh*t-tips and would cost me almost the same cost as it would for me to keep the mortgage myself. (I'd need to get an agency involved because my new job is going to push me quite hard I think)
Plus I'd probably need to sell all furniture as I'd not want it wrecked by lodgers, but wouldn't be able to take it with me because it'd all be too big for me.
Essentially, what I want to do, is to get the ex out and sorted, and get a lodger for the spare-room. I think I could do it that way and survive quite well. but there is no knowing until i'm there!
