Fair enough. You can rent the house over the road from where she lived right now if you like for £1k pcm in a nice part of Whickham. Her fella owns his own business and does very well for himself. My point is they wasted a huge amount of cash on renting when they could have bought and cleared a fair bit of their mortgage in 20 years. Not really sure why its so hard to make sense of that.
I agree with what you’re saying about rental being a waste of money , but the implication you made of paying £800 a month for twenty years is frankly not feasible.
Not really sure why you used that figure, likewise can’t understand why you can’t make sense of what I’m saying.
