Morning all,

As I said everyone has different priorities, unusually my driver isn't to make money per se but to find something more interesting to do with my money than leave it in a building society but I don't want to take big risks with it and the risks in Leaseback are, I think, manageable. In the case of the one I have chosen the developer is also the service provider so there's an incentive to build well and take a long term view.
I have no worries about voids, leaking pipes, out of control gardens and I have a choice of attractive places to spend 6 to 8 weeks a year, which I can increase to 12 if I so wish.
It has been very useful to have some of the pitfalls pointed out and I'm grateful for that and will ensure I am well advised and am clear about the risks and can accept them.
