Hello
In a bit of a stress about what to do! Sold house. Due to complete Jan. We moved somewhere we thought we would like but reality is its v dull and not much going on. Plus our budget has now grown so we have more options. Not quite sure where to move to. We have two choices. One more expensive but commute a bit better and more "us" and means we can keep foot on London ladder. We are not sure if we can get a house we want here for our budget. We would compromise a bit on space. Also would be further from my parents. Plus a bit scared tbh of whether it's the right thing to do as most people move out of London with kids! Other option is a lovely town with more going on, nice countryside nearby, commute longer though.
Anyway we thought we would rent in option a for 6 months to see how we liked it, and to see what houses came on. Then if thought no can't get anything/not right for us, we'd move to option b.
Trouble is I'm due second baby April so we'll be mid way through renting. Would it be too stressful to rent then buy with 2 kids - one a newborn? Also where we are going we could afford to rent a 2 bed but 3 bed pushing it, so not quite sure how logistics of in laws staying would work when baby 2 comes.
Am probably overthinking all this, but made a buying mistake before so don't want to do it again. However the prospect of moving into rented, having a baby, buying a house fills me with fear. Maybe it would've better to get a move on and buy somewhere now and be in before end April?
What would you do???!!
