We are in the process of conveyancing from moving from our semi detached house to a larger detached house, within the same town. We've been very happy in our semi but wondered if it was time for a change and a nice house came on the market which we viewed, offered on and are proceeding with. We sold our current property quickly so all proceeding nicely.
However, as time goes on I am starting to have second thoughts. We've been very happy here. I'm scared that I won't settle in the new house because it's so much larger than our current one and whether I will miss the cosiness of our current home. We'll be moving from a west facing garden to a north facing garden which worries me, but that said, UK weather doesn't guarantee the sun much, so perhaps I should discount this.? We can hear our elderly neighbour's TV though the wall, which irritates me sometimes, which made me dream about a detached place.
Has anybody else had doubts about moving when push came to shove? Is this an omen that we should just stay? It'll piss everybody off in the chain no doubt, but I'm scared of making the wrong choice. My husband wants to move and thinks we'd regret not taking the opportunity. My teenage kids would prefer to stay but are OK with a move if it's still local as they don't want to leave their friends, which I understand.
I am, by nature a worrier/procrastinator. Anybody else moved and regretted it, or pulled out of a move and felt it was the right/wrong decision?
Would welcome your views. TIA.
