I need some advice please.
We are having to move closer to a secondary school to ensure our son gets in and stays with his friends from primary school. They have recently changed the admissions as where we currently live wasn't a problem initially and lots of children got a place but it's now a risk staying where we are.
We can't afford the catchment area but can afford just outside of it.
We have seen two new build houses and as we know it's not our forever home I'm also thinking of the reselling when the time comes.
We have 3 children and I work from home so need an office.
Would you go with a small 5 bed which would mean we could have a playroom/spare room upstairs, it has a room for an office downstairs, utility room, with a small garden (the width of the house by about a meter longer than a single garage) which is over looked by houses elevated behind. Or a 4 bed which has no utility and would need us to convert some of the garage to make an office room/utility, with a larger garden still overlooked but the houses behind aren't elevated.
The 4 bed is nearly 30k more expensive though.
My husband prefers the 5 bed as it's cheaper, in a quiet village and the development only has 2 years left. Whereas the 4bed is more expensive in a more built up area and has about another 7 years left of build.
Sorry for rambling...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
