What are you looking for?

· A rural setting or a coastal view

· A city dwelling or peace and quiet

· A golf location or do you hate the idea

· A private villa or communal apartment block

· A restoration project or new development

· A place to live in or to use as a holiday rental

. A house in the sun - a dream home abroad in Spain

An excellent idea if you can afford to do so, is not to sell your present home but to rent it out to someone else. This will give you an income to pay the mortgage for your new home.

On the other hand - flog the lot and go live the rest of your life in luxury and forget about the horrors of exorbitant taxes on your pension that you worked all your life to save for.
