Me too. Just bought a house (in Scotland) - very nice, 11 acres, big stone (old) farm buildings, mountain views, about 600K. The catch is about a third of this is debt. We went for this because the housing market is rising at about 20% pa at the moment. It a gamble, it could crash...

Is it wise to borrow more in a rising market? I'm fiscally pretty naive.
