As someone who had to move 5 times I four years due to landlords and am now in my seventh glorious year in my own flat, that sounds mental.

    What would you do if you lost your job and couldn't find anything in your current location?

    In the current high-interest market I'd probably rent out the property and rent something else wherever the job is located. But then you have to be willing to be a landlord. Some people aren't.

    As I said to someone else Futher down, I recognise that I'm privileged to have been born and live near the capital of a very centralised country so I never really need to worry about moving for work as I'm already where the highest wages are. I just got so miserable as a renter moving so much and never feeling like I had an actual home I couldn't go back to it now I'm settled.
