I just brought a house in South East England, after we sell our apartment in London. I managed to save around £15K stamp duty. But, We pay £50K extra because of our mistake. We view the property online. After moved-in we found the roof leak. The boiler is not working well. The plumbers ask us to replace pipes in the wall as well. The pictures look lovely on the Zoopla. We don't have this issue with our apartment in London.
I feel regret now. And now, my company needs me to back to the office at least three days a week. And my husband needs to be back five days a week from September onward. The train fare is expensive.
We have a big garden. My husband asks me to do the gardening once a month because I can work from home two days a week, this makes me mad.
We might plan to move back to London and get a flat.
Does anyone fell into the same trap? Should I stay or move back to London.
