Serious decisions to be made here folks !!!
So we currently rent our house out whilst Im posted up in Scotland, all going swimmingly although our tenant is a bit erratic.
When i get back from the Falklands I am posted back down to Benson, not ideal as its a little to far away from our house to commute to so we had decided to move into another married quarter at the camp… cool.
However … our erratic tenant has now decided that as we wont let her have pets in the house(quite common in rentals) that she wants out at the end of her tenancy agreement in September.
The house is about 100 miles away from the camp Im posted to so its to far away for commuting everyday. So our options are as follows….
1, My family live in the house whilst I live in the block at the camp and only get to see my wife and kids at weekends for the next 4 years.
2, Sell house and come off housing ladder and live in a quarter at camp for next 4 years then buy when I leave.
Ive tried living in the block before and hated it, especially not seeing my family. However Im a bit worried about coming off housing ladder and seeing house prices soar( if they do ?)
We dont really want to rent again as we have 3 lots of tenants now and each time they have given us nothing but trouble(non payment of rent and smashing the house up to name a couple)
My wife and I are going round in circles over the decision going one way then the other !!
What would you do ??
HELP!!
