Any thoughts appreciated. Our little 2 bed semi was only meant to be a starter home 2 kids and a recession later we have little equity, but we've outgrown it! I've been trying to make the most of it, its decorated nicely etc but we've outgrown it, our decision to have a 3rd DC seems to be scupperred beacause of our little house! So which option?
Option A
sell it and possibly make 10 grand if we're lucky or cover the mortgage if we take a low offer. Valued at peak £140, valued now at £125 owe £115 on it? we could then go and rent a nice sized family home for an affordable amount.
Option B
Grin and bear it for another 2 or 3 years, Keep making it nice, keep overpaying on mortgage and have another DC that sleeps in with us until we move.
It is a nice little cottage, with small garden and cellar and loft storage, the area isn't great but our road is a quiet cul de sac and neighbours great, DS in lovely church school near ish. It is small and have boy and girl sharing, no off road parkingb etc WWYD?
