Kate i guess it really all depends on your attitude to Life/Property/Risk! If you feel frivolous (and why not), and if you could still afford to pay off a small loan...why not take out a small remortgage (Yes i know your cellebrating being mortgage free) over say 5 years...and have fun with the brass. In 5 years time the property market will probably be back to around 2007 peak levels...and you could then sell up completely if you wanted, based on it being hopefully easier to sell your property then! You would then have capital to do what you want...ok means you'll have to rent somewhere, but again depending on your attitude...means you can have a ruddy good few years...some might say irresponsible, but its your money...your choice...if you've no one to leave it to, then damn well enjoy it...you've worked for it, a while ago i'd have advised differently, and told you to be more responsible... but having seen the avarice in the banking and polictical spheres of late...i've altered my view of life!! If you cant beat em join em...as i say in my opinion i'd sell when the times right and have some fun!! Lifes short and you dont get a second bite! Some wont agree but thats my tuppenny worth!!
