Exchange today and don't know if I want to move!!

[Confuddled2018]

Nc as I have been around a while.

We have had a turbulent selling process. It has been over a year, loved and lost 3 houses and on to our 3rd buyer. We are moving 200 miles away so new schools, new jobs and due to the complexity of the situation we will be moving in to rented.

The buyers (online) solicitor has been useless and over the last month we have had a lot of stress with it and got to the point where we have thought 'Is it worth it!'

Finally we are due to exchange but not neither my husband or I are sure we are doing the right thing. We don't know if it is jut because the excitement has been drained from us or if we are making a terrible mistake!

Has anyone else had last minute thoughts?

I did! Very stressful selling and buying and I felt physically sick at what we’d done after exchange. However we’ve been in our new house a little while and I loved it instantly, couldn’t believe I was ever worried. (We didn’t move to a new area though).
Can you remember why you’re moving? What were the good points to selling your old home and leaving your old town?

I did a long distance move several years ago, I was moving alone to an area nearly 200 miles away which I didn't know at all and where I knew no one.
I badly wanted to move but I still spent the week before the move crying as it was so scary! I still did it of course as I had exchanged and I am so glad I did now; the new place felt like home from the first day and I don't miss my old house at all. So, its natural to be fearful of a big change. Good luck.

If the process hadn't been so horrible, if it had been straightforward and easy, would you want to move? Try to separate the process and the result. Plus you've already been through the horrible process anyway, staying out wouldn't change that. It would make it all for nothing.

Are there real concerns about the results of moving?
