Apologies in advance for a boring WWYD!
DH and I have lived in our rental property for the last seven years. It's a private rent and the landlords are great - they've been round twice in that time and we've only had one rent increase. In return we never bother them and take care of minor repairs ourselves.
We have a toddler DS and are planning another in the New Year. The problem is that our house is a tiny two up two down with no garden and no storage. With another DC we just won't have enough space.
The landlords have had another property become available - not massively bigger but it's a three bed (although one's a walkthrough) and it has a small garden which would be big enough for us to play in with the kids. However it's an extra £200 a month. We can afford that but it would mean less 'fun' money. On mat leave DS and I went to loads of baby groups, soft play, farms etc and we'd have less money for that. However, we will need more space and if we don't grab this house now it might not be available when we need it and we may not get as good as landlord again.
I'm so conflicted! Help me mumsnet!
