Okay, so the wife and I are planning to move in the next few months. We've sold our flat in the Southern Suburbs of CT and looking to make a move to a smaller town. We both work remotely from home and are keen for a bit of that small-town life. The Riebeek valley seems like a good choice because of the proximity to CT. We can drive through easily enough for the day and still get back home without too much fuss. We've been there on three separate Saturdays viewing houses and there are lots of options. We'll be heading through tomorrow again.
Do any members know the area?
Thoughts on small-town living?
Is it even worth buying a property there?
We'll have the option to move to Scotland in approx 2 to 3 years, and while that's not something we've agreed on just yet (her family is there; mine is here) if we do decide to go over eventually, I don't want the process to be impacted negatively. So, is it even a good idea to buy again now (I'm no property genius and while I assume it's always a good investment, there may be pitfalls I'm not aware of)?
Any thoughts, advice or recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
