It's my dad's house; he died in June.
To begin with I couldnt bear the thought of parting with it. He had it built for him and my mum when they got married and we grew up in it.
However, I'm starting not to associate it with him so much anymore. There was a flood there last winter and lots of re-building has had to take place so it doesn't look like dad's house any more, iyswim.
It will be finished in the next month or so and I'm starting to see it as more of an investment rather than the sentimental thing it was. If I sell it, is that more sensible financially than renting it out and saving the rental? What would be a better investment for our dds: for us to sell it, pay off our mortgage and save for the future, or rent it out, invest the income and keep it for an investment the dds when they are older?
and what about tax?
