Been wanting to move forever now we it’s happening I’m petrified

I feel ashamed writing this.

Ive been wanting to move home for ages. Probably around 7 years at least! In fact we had our property on the market a few years ago with absolutely no interest.

A new estate popped up near us a couple of years ago, - stunning large gorgeous houses - dream homes! We managed to get an amazing deal on one of the last ones in April this year (part exchange), just before the rate rise.

Well we will be moving within the next few weeks and I feel sick to my stomach. I can’t make sense of these feelings. I am anxious about neighbours, the playground nearby, the change, new build snags, it’s more than affordable but our mortgage is also going to treble when we could have stayed in our current house and been mortgage free.
I don’t understand why I am feeling like this. I can’t even grumble about the location it is literally in the same area we are in, kids aren’t having to move school and we know some people on the estate already.

I feel guilty for writing this, we have wanted to move for a better quality of life for the kids (currently on a horrible busy road), for more indoor and outdoor space, more freedom for the kids etc. My current feelings have completely zapped any excitement for moving house and I can’t seem to shake it off!

@MovingAnxiety I just found this thread and am wondering how you’re getting on, assuming you’re in the new house? I’m going through the same thing now (started my own thread about it the other day) and can’t understand why I’m feeling the same way you did, as I adore the house we’re moving to.
Please tell me all went well with your move and that I’m panicking unnecessarily.
