Id arrange our wedding (abroad) and whack the rest straight in out joint account and enjoy several years mortgage free.

100k isn't enough to do much with to be honest.

£100k would be life changing for me. Pay off a couple of remaining debts and buy a lovely house for the wife and myself to enjoy with about £50k on a deposit. Mortgage the rest. I would put whatever I had left into savings and try to invest in oil stocks as and when.

I think I'd put 30k to 40k on a house deposit and then get a Golf .:R and an Evoque for SWMBO

Sensible head - pay off the mortgage.  That's a higher interest  rate than I'd get from most investments at the moment.  If you've already taken care of that, a terraced house (or maybe even two with a small mortgage) in a university town.

What a great position to be in!


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW. 
Full list of mods:  Seat inserts and a VW bottle opener.  Each worth 20bhp.

I'd remortgage my current house, which should release about £100k.
That gives me £200k in total, which I would then put down as a deposit towards a bigger house, I want 4 bedrooms as a minimum.
I would then put my current house on rent.
Hence I would have my new house, and have my current house as an investment - since it's a 3 bed house with garage, and a primary school, playground for kids, and bus stop into town literally 45 seconds walk from the house, I should get a small family as tenants pretty easily, who are more likely to settle for a longer period of time.

Well that's my goal for 5 years from now anyways, whether I have the spare £100k or not!

Sensible head says pay off my small debts and then the rest will go on reducing the mortgage and redoing the flat up.
The not so sensible head says go and buy a 911 and go on holidays :D
