I agree with MatLeaveForever - why are you moving, and what are your plans/how are you going to live there?
I have lived in 3 places I've chosen myself.
- 1970s 2-bed maisonette in a town famous only for its power station, though surrounded by lovely countryside. No outside space, on a through but not huge road. Massive living/dining area & good size the rest of it. Run-down but strangely practical kitchen which I painted a lurid cheerful pink. Parking but no outside space. I loved this place - it really was my home.
Moved to be closer to a new job.
2) 1990s 2-bed house in a suburb. Right by a tiny station, with private back garden and open plan front garden, garage, on a quiet cul-de-sac. Strange sitting-room layout made it feel like a passage rather than a room. Pleasant enough but whole place was soulless & never really felt like home how the first place did - but I enjoyed learning about gardening.
Moved to be closer to (another) new job.
3) 1800s 3-bed semi in a large village. Right in the middle of the action (by pub, church, local shops) - cars go past inches from the window & parking is a free-for-all. Listed with beams, wonky floors, draughts, etc. Tiny back yard which was a concrete horror but is now filling with climbing plants. As with place 1 - though so different - it was love at first visit.
Stayed in each for about 4 yrs (though no plans to move from no 3 at present).
Usually, the next house is a compromise between what you want and what you can afford. If you really want the pluses of the new house and can live with the minuses then go for it. If you think there is something better out there (in your price range, in the right location, etc), then consider pulling out.
When in the process of moving from house 1 to house 2 I was going to buy somewhere totally different. Put in an offer & then changed my mind fairly soon afterwards. Not ideal but much better than moving to somewhere you know you don't want to be.
