You've done the learning. You've done your research. And now you've found a cracker of a site. With a house on it. What now? Should you keep the house or get rid of it?
That's a question I get asked a lot, and the problem is, it falls into the "how long is a piece of string?" category of question. Because the answer is inevitably "it depends"...
So let's take a look at the various things "it depends" needs to tick off before you can make a decision...
To start with, there's really 3 angles to consider when answering this question, which boil down to - can, should or must I keep the house?
I'm going to start with MUST, because it's the most straightforward.
