Hello, we don't own a boat but it is one of the options we are considering for a long planned change of lifestyle. We'd like to see more of nature, have less stuff and move away from many mainstream priorities, find a bit of community, but still be near Kent for family connections.
Boat life appeals to the traveller in me, and my husband loves boats generally. It could work really well if we could find a residential mooring in or around London whilst our youngest is still in education, and we are both working in schools. We could enjoy the city for work and school, but escape at weekends and holidays. I think we could afford this, even in London, but don't know enough about the reality of finding residential moorings. E.g. what are the options, how hard to come by are they, are there freehold/leasehold/rental options, is it easier to buy a boat with mooring, resale values, etc. I see rough prices and rental levels online, but don't know how indicative these are of reality.
So I've just joined up in order to hopefully learn a bit more about boat life, especially in the London area.
Cheers
