We used to live in London and my husband convinced me to move to Essex with the promise if I didn't like it we could move again in 18 months. Long story short after many arguments and 3 years of living in Essex he's agreed to sell our house and go back to a flat in London, wherever I choose he said, and I can go out and sign a lease now, tomorrow, if I find something I like.
The problem is I have a 5 year old who started school in Essex in Sept.
I would like to move to Kensington as I've read there are lots of good schools there. I'm not sure how to do it though, should I just sign a lease on a flat I like and hope he is able to transfer to a good school and take the chance of maybe getting into a not so good school, or a school which is really far?
Or do I wait and get a better idea of where he can get in and then rent a flat? Is there such thing? Would the council be able to tell me?
It is so daunting because we're okay where we are, it's just that I can't cope living in the suburbs anymore and I feel that now that my husband has finally agreed to move is my only chance to get out of here. I'm terrified of taking a bad decision though which will make it harder for us than it already is.
Does anyone have any input or has been in the same situation?
