Just got back to Southampton from Christmas in Coatbridge with my family.
Managed to not fight with my mum and managed to not drink any more than the odd Tennents so didn't get rat-arsed and misbehave.
Got to say I'm sad to back in the south, I can feel the cloud of depression the people here give off.
Also I'm gonna miss Hoggies and Barrs in glass bottles.

Why would it do that!?
I've been looking at a house for sale recently, although it's actually literally a converted gaol. £400,000, 8 bedrooms, split into one main part with 5 bedrooms and three one-bedroom/studio flats that all currently have tenants. Put down a fair-sized deposit and the income from the three rented flats will cover mortgage payments.

Probably not a great idea for a first-time buy, however.

lol unless every single one of those flats are up to our new landlord laws you will be eligible for a minimum of a £10k fine per flat, iirc its one year from purchase to make sure the electrics, windows, bathrooms, kitchens, boilers and heating are up to code. Unless it's in london in which case the tenants will be too scared to report you in case they get kicked out.

lol yes I would be VERY scared if I were a landlord and found to be letting out inappropriate housing, e.g. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/23/landlord-charged-young-family-800-a-month-to-live-in-garage-5583246/ oh my look at that whopping fine and punishment to which the landlord in that case was subjected. Why, take this quote from the council spokesman: ‘I hope the strong action taken by Blaby District Council will deter other landlords from letting tenants live in poor conditions.’ STRONG ACTION, you hear? Strong. I am completely dissuaded, as are many landlords will have been, after reading that.

In actuality I am going to remain a tenant paying someone else's mortgage for at least the next six months (after that I'll probably buy one of the very many new builds on a flood plain, sounds like a plan!) and laugh at the very idea that there are new rules for landlords that are actually going to be enforced that will discourage landlords from being shites. In fact now I'm re-reading your post I'm thinking you must have been being very subtly ironic, the bit about only having one year to flout the law with the safety of your tenants is what gave it away though, as if that's a scary concept for a landlord... nice try!

[Also, super lol at the "Read more at the metro" text that was nearly added to my post after copying and pasting from their website. Again, nice try, Metro!!]

Quarter mil are you mental? I saw a lovely little church that had been converted into two maisonette's, each going for £125,000 freehold a month ago and thought to myself, "after Christmas". Stupidest loving thing I've ever done. Naturally they both sold within a week.

Previous career I wouldn't be so shy of doing that, in fact I did do that many moons ago. Now I'm kind of tied down to this county because of the new career but I'm not adverse to moving anywhere within a reasonable commute.
