I would really appreciate some straight talking advice.
DH and I are considering relocating to Devon, from Surrey. We have some friends in the country but no family. We have two DC’s aged 10 and 8. Clearly this would uproot our children from their schools and friends (both of which they love).
We have massively outgrown our house, we are town centre and I’m fed up with not being able to park near our house after an hours drive home from work. House prices where we are are crazy, we cannot afford the 4 bed detached house that we would love.
My salary would stay the same, I’m a senior nurse in the NHS and DH could work remotely from home. So our money would go so much further.
I my head I believe we would have such an improved quality of life, more outdoor activities, beaches, great local food etc. I’m conscious that this may be influenced by visits to friends which are breaks/holidays and not real life.
We’d like to live in a village / small town with good access to beaches and the county.
Are we absolutely crazy to do this? Is it totally irresponsible to move your kids like this?
I’d love some straight talking advice from anyone who has been through this and made either decision.
Thank you
