DH and I are looking at moving house, we have been approved for a mortgage of 400k which only just about gets us a 3 bed semi in our area. We have been in our 2 bed terrace for about 15 years. We found a house we both really liked, had a second viewing and had pretty much decided to offer when DH had a panic attack in the middle of the night. It was a really bad one and took a while for him to calm down, he was so scared. The stress of all the costs was the main reason, being tied into a mortgage for the next 25 years, using all of our savings we’ve saved so hard for on all the moving costs.
So anyway we missed out on the house because by the time he’d got his head together (about a week) someone else had offered. It’s not his fault at all, but I’m kind of gutted as we both really liked this house and I can’t see anything as big coming up in our price range, prices seem to be slowly creeping up in our area and I’m getting myself worried that we’re going to be priced out of the market. Does moving house cause other people so much stress and worry?
Being stuck in our tiny 2 bed is making me depressed but then the stress of moving is causing DH anxiety. Anyway, not sure what I’m asking, I just can’t talk to anyone in real life because DH and his panic attack/anxiety is his private business, and I know we’re lucky to even be thinking about a bigger house so I can’t really talk to friends who can’t afford to move.
