Hi everyone!
I live in hackney homerton area in a two bedroom pretty small flat. It is on ground floor and have a small back space, sole use. Both bedrooms are double though everything else are pretty compact. I want to move back to islington. Barely anyone want to move to homerton. Though I found somebody who want to exchange with me with their maisonnette. I liked their home, bigger and better layout. But it has two flights of stairs and no lift or security on the block, and the area is between stoke newington and newington green in hackney, on border of islington. Now, if I take this place I would want to move/exchange again to get to my ideal place. I will only take it as a little upgrade so I can get what I exactly want. I don't have the energy to gather multiswap. My concern is will this be an upgrade though? Do you think I'd get better luck to find swap in islington if I move to stokey/newington green? or I'd rather be bit more patient and stay where I am looking for the sort of place I want? Please advice what are your opinions. Do you guys think it will give me better chance to find better swap if I stay where I am, considering it is on the ground floor with small garden.
Moreover, there's another flat I got offered in Angel Islington. Purpose build block. Three bedrooms, 2nd floor also no lift and the flat is quite small for a three bedrooms. I know too many people want to up size, so if I want to downsize to two bedrooms again, do you think I'd get swap more easily?
I will much appreciate your feedbacks! ❤
