Evidence of alternative housing -
Enclosure J contains the property details that the parties produced to show what each might need to pay if either had to buy a property. Those produced by the wife are shaded in blue; those produced by the husband are shaded yellow. The details are as follows:112.It is plainly not sensible for the wife to have produced details of three properties in Clevedon and Nailsea that are more expensive than the current home. I heard no oral evidence in relation to any of the above. I accept that there are properties that the husband might buy in the bracket of £205,000 to £250,000, although I think that it is very unlikely that he will choose to buy one. I also accept that there are middle-ranking houses in Clevedon that the wife would be able to buy for about£400,000 and which would provide adequate accommodation for her, G and D once the others have left home. 113.
