Walking to the bike isn't an issue tbh, it's another of those small prices to pay in order to own a home.
To put prices in perspective I have mates rates rent of £650 pm for a 2 bed flat, plus my bills (council tax £100 pm on its own!)
the neighbours is advertised at £800 pm and £200,000 to buy, these are 1970's flats!
I can't even stay locally and get a one bed flat for the same as what I'm currently paying so down sizing won't work.
I have my daughter every other weekend hence the 2nd bedroom at the moment.
There will be obstacles to overcome but for the end result I don't see why I shouldn't do it at this stage in my life!
