To feel a bit put off that he’s buying a property elsewhere?

My boyfriend of 14 months has talked about buying a property in his home country since we met. He claims it would be a holiday home and that they are much cheaper than property here. That said he’s had two opportunities to go house shopping while visiting family and he still hasn’t done it.

Anyway he started talking about it again including how his parents would look in on the property while he was away. He said he sees himself spending a month a year there and he views it as an asset.

He has also said he ‘can’t’ buy property in the UK due to restrictions. He is going to get his citizenship this year so I’m not sure why that would be the case. He also has a stable long term career here.

I want to plan our future together but I don’t know how that’s going to be possible if he never wants to buy a house in the UK. How to bring it up?

It sounds like you need to be having some honest and open communication with him about the future.

Does he see himself staying in the UK permanently?

Will he be happy to raise his children here and use his home country as your holiday base?
