Has anyone else suffered major anxiety whilst planning a new house move? I feel almost crippled daily with the "what if's" and self doubt. It's really taken the joy out of what has been my long term plan. I thought I'd really enjoy moving on, but I'm being held back by my own indescision.
Can anyone read through and remind me of the positives of moving;
Current house is a not very pretty 70's build that has some internal charm but bad internal layout, which cannot really be improved upon. It does however have an amazing view from the garden. The garden is on a steep hill though, where you cannot utilise it for anything, so we lose the use of about half the land we have due to its position. But oh the view. This house is also cold in winter due to a massive central staircase and high ceilings. (Central staircase is the main reason for bad internal layout, which is why we cannot do much internally to improve, and we are semi-detached so don't want to spend a ton of money on a house where it's not an individual build, and neighbours exterior is pretty grotty as they are not bothered about aestethics)
New house, individual, much more modern, which I much prefer over charm. Brand new heating system, perfect open plan living downstairs, and much improved upstairs space. Totally flat land so complete use of all garden space, where we can even install some much longer for garden items. The view isn't just as good, but still very pretty, and infact with a 5 minute walk we have the big view as before.
I can't stay here and regret not moving just for not having the same exact view from the garden as before, but that's is what it feels like in my head! Both houses are in lovely quiet location so no change there. Can somebody give my head a wobble. Sorry it's so long
