Hi
I currently live in a 3 bed house with myself DH, and 2 x kids both under 8 years old. I am very lucky to have come into an inheritance and I don't know the best way to make this work for me so could do with some opinions.
My thoughts so far are that whilst we have enough space at the moment, we could potentially outgrow the house as the kids get older. So to make long term use of my unexpected good fortune we could :
a) stay where we are and pay off a lump sum of existing mortgage
b) stay where we are and use the money to build an extension
c) move to a 4 bed house (increasing the mortgage)
We have renovated the house quite extensively in the last 3 years to make it to our tastes so it would be a bit of a tug of the heart strings to leave, but my head can see that when the kids get older they may need space we don't have (space to park a car/hang out with their friends etc)
So head or heart? or another opinion all together?
