We live in London and like our neighbourhood but not our part of it (it’s very gritty compared with the rest). We’ve just sold to a cash buyer and have to rent as they want to move fast and we won’t be able to buy anything that quickly. And we’re actually not sure where to move to anyway!
We’ve narrowed it down to a nicer part of our current neighbourhood or another area, which is a very established family place (still in london), and is about half an hour away (by car, we don’t have a car though, although could lease an electric one).
Would you rent locally? Or in the new area?
We have children in nursery / school where we are currently, complicating things!
One dc is on the waiting list in nurseries in the new area, just in case, and has been for a year now. School is trickier as I don’t know if any have a space... but the other area has great schools. It’s lovely place, just a little bit boring!
What would you do? Rent locally or rent in the possible other place?
