Hi everyone, reaching out before I hit a hard wall and looking for some advise and reassurance. We have finally moved houses with our 10 months old but we still have to pay rent on our previous property until someone moves in (tenancy ends in October). So we have the property for another 3 months. Financially, this is very difficult to do and we are just about keeping our head above water. We had to move as the previous property was in a bad way and tiny (studio flat). Paying rent on two places is hard and I am starting to get really stressed out about it.
Dh has gone back to work today after wfh for 12 weeks. It was really nice to just have him around but now he is gone, I’m suddenly alone in a new house with the baby while trying to figure out the impossible.
The flat is in a desirable location but due to everything, I think not many people are viewing. We had to pay a huge fee to the estate agents to put it onto the market but there seems little interest.
I do know that by October, things will be okay again as we won’t have to pay rent on two homes. So that money will go towards us and we can get back to where we was few months ago which was comfortable and we were content. We’ve reduced our spending to the absolute bare minimum to make ends meet. It’s just tough as I was really looking forward to moving here but now I just feel sad and overwhelmed.
