Looking for opinions on what we should do in our situation. We have lived in our current home for five years, it is a two bed mid terrace, has 25 steps up to the front door, there is a lane at the bottom of the garden which takes us out to the street behind which has two steps in it. We have a DD age 5 and DS, 9. They are sharing the big bedroom and the plan was to eventually do a loft conversion to get an extra bedroom, which is a common practice in the area we live.
I am due to receive an inheritance in the coming year and we may be in a position to move house within the area. While I like our house, I do not love it and a coupole of things are starting to annoy me, such as the steps and the parking. We are on-street parking, some houses in the street have driveways but not everyone uses their driveway and there are some inconsiderate parking practices going on eg came home tonight to find a neighbour had parked their car right in the middle of a space big enough for two cars.
If we were to move, it may well be another mid terrace however we could afford one with the loft already done, a driveway and level access into the house. As I am unsure exactly how much my in inheritance will be, there is a chance also that we could afford a semi-detached or something with an extension - the estate is complicated and involves a lot of collectible assets which still need to be sold off.
What would you do if you were in my situation? Thanks for reading and Merry Xmas!
