Please can anyone give me some words of wisdom? Saw a house we love in an area that's an hour away from family and friends. Husband and I both have cars do transport not an issue but I'm having a wobble as I'm currently only 10 mins away from my parents. I'm an only child and they don't really have regular contact with other family members.
My house search comfort zone has been within 30-40 mins of them but can't find the sort of house we're looking for in budget within this comfort zone.
They are very close to our 2 year old, who is their only grandchild and they often look after him for us. Moving an hour away will mean that childcare will become more difficult too.
Trying to work out if this is just a wobble or if we should withdraw our offer. The area ismuch nicer than where we currently live and there's no way we could afford the house we have offered on if it was closer to
us. The area has better prospects and would make my husband's hour and a half commute much shorter.
Spoke to husband about wobble and he wants to take gamble on moving to new area and has offered to move back if we can't settle there.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
