OP I'm sorry you've been ill, I'm the same. I think I am starting to knit myself back together...
but you are only a month in. My situation was unusual for a range of reasons which I can't explain here, I really hope you will feel better faster. If you don't, I think you've got much more chance of making a profit as you're in a doer upper.
It's just me here. It's a new build so in theory, they fix all the problems. But the number of problems has been quite high and I say that as a pessimist who was aware there'd be issues.
I was on a high floor before. I hadn't realised how much I'd dislike being on a normal floor, so to speak - and I feel completely overlooked as well.
I moved partly because the area had become horrible and partly to be closer to my elderly mum. While this has practical benefits, it has a depressing aspect too. Though I am now spared a long train journey or having to stay over.
One of my big regrets is that my old block was extremely well run. Here, there is very little mgmt, they are quite rude if you ever do need to contact them and they don't really have any provision for emergencies. Of course, they claim they do...!
There's lots of other regrets I have but they will seem a bit meaningless or spoiled bratty typed out.
When I'm being rational, I realise that I have spent the money to move and therefore need to see it through. In my lower moments, I think I'll send a letter to the buyer of my old flat and ask him to let me know when he sells. I think he's bought it to rent though he says not.
Moving was such a hassle, I couldn't go through it again any time soon. The other thing is, in reality, you can't know what you're going to live in till you get there. You can do as much research as you want, but there's a limit to what you can know for sure.
So I probably will be here till I feel confident enough to make such a big decision again.
I think today has been a bit of a turning point - but then I keep thinking I've had one and then I feel awful again the next day. Winter really isn't helping. It is a better area but everywhere seems horrible in bad weather, and I had a much shorter walk for errands in the old area.
New builds can be riddled with issues too. It's sheer luck I think. Normally I love living alone but for the first time, I find myself thinking some help would be nice.
