To move again?

Me and DP have lived together 5 years. Over that time we've moved countless times, never really settling. When I fell pregnant with DS we made the decision to find somewhere and stay put and have been in our current home 17 months (the longest we've stayed anywhere).

I like our current home, it's affordable, great amenities and close to a big town centre. Unfortunately the previous tenant left a lot of damage and the LL has done the bare minimum to repair it. Issues I reported back last Feb still need to be seen to and looking at all of the disrepairs gets me down. We have penetrating damp throughout the house which the LL has "sealed" 3 times, never trying to solve it completely.

We have the opportunity to move to a suitable and affordable house, nearer to my family and better nurseries/playgroups for DS along with better job opportunities for me when I choose to return to work.

I feel like we are stuck on a loop of moving constantly but this house needs so many repairs that I feel will never be done. Do we move again or stay put and hope that the issues are eventually sorted?

If you stay put, it sounds like you could be stuck with the disrepairs for a long time. It sounds like there are lots of good things about the house you could move to, and then it could be less likely that you'll want to move from there.
