My husband wants to keep our house in Uk and rent it out whereas I think it would be best to sell it to give us the money that we would need when in Australia to rent/buy property there once settled.
Thanks for all your comments..

My husband is the one that has pushed for us to emigrate. My oldest son of 18 is eager to move but my 14 year old son is not. I am also keen to emigrate.

Me and my husband have a dilema.We currently live in the UK, but in about 3 years we'd like to go to South Africa…Now we don't know,if we should rent a house and try to save money and from money saved to pay a deposit on a house in SA (with savings of £300p/m each we should have £10.800 at the end of 3yrs) or if we should buy a property here, pay mortgage and in 3 years sell it.

Would we make a profit?The property we would want would be in Birmingham for about £120.000, monthly repayments around £800 + bills…
Property we would rent would be in the region of £550 per month.

What would be a better option? What would get us off the ground?

I appreciate your time reading it and your help!
