Got 400k equity. We live in Derbyshire so there’s some expensive areas but some reasonable too. I’m on my own with dc but ex pays maintenance. He’s agreed to go halves on education. I can technically pay my share from income but it feel very stressful. If I move then obviously it makes it very manageable.
But… I’d be going from a large ish village house with big drive and garden (worth around 580k), spare bedrooms etc to basically a three or four bed that’s very basic and in a more built up area. Originally I was was sure about it and even went to look at places but the reality is now making me second guess. Is this a stupid thing to do?! What would you do? State Schools round here are not terrible but certainly not good either.
