Worried about starting again

[OneGreyBiscuit]

Hi after being on the housing list since July 2023 I'm going to view a property tomorrow. It looks a nice property although I know the area isn't the best. I don't want to be with my partner any longer and this is the reason I want out. I'm just getting really stressed about having to pay and sort everything on my own and whether I can do it or not. It's not come at the best time as his mum's been diagnosed with bowel cancer and he's got to have an endoscopy in April for ongoing stomach issues. I don't want to sound ungrateful as I know there are thousands who would like to be offered a house but I just find it scary as well.

I know it doesn’t feel like it but this is your opportunity to get out of your current situation and into a new, more secure life. Living on your own terms. People generally don’t enjoy big changes so take charge by making lists of things you need to do and things you’ll need to buy if you get the house.

What sort of property is it? Are there carpets?

Ive seen it from the outside but won't know about the inside until tomorrow. I know it's a wonderful opportunity but very daunting at the same time.

It is scary. But also a wonderful new start in a home that’s yours. It will seem daunting but make a list of things you’ll need. Don’t be put off by superficial things that you can change. You’ll probably get offered a starter tenancy that converts to an assured tenancy. That’s basically a tenancy for life. They are like gold dust.

How did you get on OP?

I've decided to go for it. I started another thread this morning as I had worries after looking at it. Thanks for asking!

Good news! I will have a read of your other thread.
