Hi
I have let out my old house for the last six years and in the last two the tenants trashed it- hole in wall, wires pulled out, every carpet trashed. I have redecorated it all and put in new kitchen and I don't know if I should sell it now or let again. If I sell, it feels like my history (pre DP) is gone and my links with my old town are finished- I sometimes imagine living there again- but unlikely with my country loving partner. If I let, I risk seeing it being trashed again. I have to sell anyway in two years to avoid getting big CGT bill so should I sell now (I am assured that it will sell quickly by the EA) or sell in two years to recoup some of the costs of redecorating and give me more time to think of what to do with the money? Incidentally DP facing redundancy so won't talk about it with me- think we are both a bit depressed at the moment...Also he won't sell his house even though it is too small for us because even if we sold two houses we could not buy the big barn he wants...Grrrr.
