Hi, just wondering if anyone has bought a house they loved but not in a location they were crazy about?
Our offer on a great house was accepted today but I still have niggling anxieties about the location. It's a perfectly lovely location but more rural and isolated than we are now. It would mean a longer commute for us both and DC would have to change schools. We are currrently renting in a stunning place that is way too expensive to buy in. Myself and DC have great friends here but the new house would be nearer my family.
DH fell in love with the house and has been pushing the purchase but has acknowledged my concerns. The new house has loads of land and appears to be a great investment. My fear is that we will uproot us all and regret it but on the other hand if we don't go for it we might regret it and not be able to purchase something else while our mortgage offer is valid.
I had DS3 5 weeks ago so am definitely being influenced by my emotions so was wondering what others' experiences have been? If I could pick this house up and move it closer I would buy it in a heartbeat however if it was in our current location it would cost millions.... any advice from others who experienced the same?
