Many reasons I bought a house outright here no mortgage or rent the cost of living is way less than England. Proper seasons many things really.

Nice! We were looking at settling in the U.K. in the future but I don't think it's going to be compatible with what we want to do

I agree homesteading is not really much of a thing in the UK its more just left to ordinary farmers, plus the size of a decent small holding can be super expensive. Maybe consider other european countries perhaps??

I was mostly interested because I want to restore an old building and the ones in the U.K. are amazing, plus I'm terrible at foreign languages :/ I feel like that would make it difficult. I think I came up with a compromise though. We're going to stay in the U.S. and build our own house in the future and I'm going to take features from the old buildings and put them in our house!
