Selling after four years - DH not keen

Hi all. I am aware I’m probably making this a bigger problem than it is. DH and I bought what we thought would be our perfect family home. I really haven’t ever settled and want to sell. So so worried about losing money. DH is happy there. Also we have had a very difficult year for personal reasons (DH side of family but impacts me too but less so obviously) and I am really aware that placing pressure on DH to sell (moving is stressful!) will just give us another stressful year next year. It’s impacting my MH though as I really don’t like being there, and want to be settled somewhere before Dc applies for primary school. Really concerned about losing money. I have tentatively mentioned to DH, but it is very difficult to push it after such a tough year. I’d like to list in spring 25 but we’d have only owned the house for four years. Any kind words or suggestions very welcome. Although not sure what that might be. I find it difficult to speak to others as I know they will think we are stupid for buying a family home and then not being happy there. Ps we are in London so moving costs are high a family home is c 1.1m.

Agree with@OneDayIWillLearn , OP

It sounds like you've had a lot of upheaval and you're both fairly unhappy at the moment.

It's worth taking some time to consider if the problem is more a psychological discomfort with your situation, rather than an issue with the house. It could be an expensive mistake to make.
