Hiya I need some opinions from people not involved in the situation please! Posting here for traffic and voting.
I am unsure of what to do about my house situation and could do with some advice / opinions!
We (me, DH, DD(3) and DS(1) currently live in a new build 3 bed detached house on a new estate. We moved in in December 2019. The estate is awful for parking, the road is noisy as we are on a corner / t-junction right at the only entrance to the whole estate. Our house is right on the pavement and people are constantly looking in which irritates me. The parking is awful and long term i cant see it improving at all. Our mortgage has also recently increased to nearly £900 a month.
My grandmother is having to move into a flat due to A recent stroke and is going to sell her home to fund the flat. She has offered it for around 250k which Is a bit of a steal.
The house is a 3 bed semi detached, On a pretty busy main road but set back with a big drive and space for lots of cars. The back garden backs on to the riverbank which is lovely. Big front garden but smallish , not super child friendly back garden. The upstairs is smaller than ours with no ensuite to the main bedroom (which we have now) but the downstairs Is probably about double the size. They had triple glazing installed recently so road noise inside is minimal (I know this after 25 years of visiting!)
The potential trouble we have is that my in laws have helped us financially with previous moves (one in 2017 and then one in 2019) and have also helped us out financially a few times very generously. They are not keen on us moving house again (I'm not sure how against it they would be but it worries.me and I don't want to make its uncomfortable). Me and dh do love the idea of the house and it would be more affordable for us (I am changing to part time soon so already a little worried about finances)
So what do I do? Stay in the house I dislike to potentially keep the peace or move into a very different house with some clear benefits (but my DH worries ill never be happy in any house whatever !)
Sorry that was long!! Any advice would be great!!
Unseasonable - stay in the house I have now
Not unreasonable - try for moving into relatives house
Thanks xx
