Interested in other people's opinions. Moving house in London. We are fortunate to have a decent budget - but we want a family home: 3+ beds, garden, school catchment etc so are priced out of many areas. After a bit of research I've decided on an area I like that ticks many boxes but DH isn't sure on the basis that the houses aren't expensive enough! His thought is you should get the biggest mortgage you can (within reason - we're not talking about going beyond a limit where we'd be confident of making repayments) because it gets you into a better position for your next move.
Just wondered what others thought. I quite like the idea of a small mortgage - but I can see his point too!
