Bit if background: house been on market for nearly 2 years. Am now on with 3rd estate agent after doing around 2k worth of home improvements. We bought the house in 2008 for 152k and on market for 140k - have lowered price 3 times also.
Anyway today we had an offer for 132k. Have rejected it but I think prospective buyers will offer 135k which I want to accept but DH is adamant he wants rhe asking price as we'd originally purchased house for 152k.
I want to move. Our house is small, we have a toddler and I'm heavily pregnant. Also primary schools in our area are poor and I want DD to have the opportunity to go to a good school.
DH's argument is that even if we move we wouldn't be guaranteed a school place in a good school - we checked last year's acceptance records an the farthest student distance from the good schools was 0.8 miles. He also says this offer has come being on market with new estate agents after only 3 weeks and we should wait and see if we have any other viewings.
What do I do? I feel this is one time I can't compromise as I'm not doing this for me but for creating a nice home for our DCs.
Would love any advice or arguments I can place to DH!
