Had enough of this house and want to move on

We moved in here almost a year ago but I'm just about done with this place. On paper it gave us just about everything we needed - an extra bedroom as we had two DCs of opposite sex sharing a bedroom for years, private parking and a lot less stairs up to the front door (last house had 26 of them).

However since the day we moved in it's been nothing but problems. Numerous water leaks, expensive repairs and a major structural issue that wasn't highlighted in the HR. We drained our savings sorting these issues then had to borrow money to fix other things that cropped up.

We spent 18 months from putting our last house on the market to moving in here due to various problems and lost out on six other houses. Neither of us loved this house but we liked it well enough at the very start as it mostly fit the bill but all the joy has been taken out of it and I started to dislike this place after about a month of being here. I've been lucky to have fairly robust MH but this has been a challenge and I've developed anxiety issues due to it all. We've just spent 2k replacing part of the bathroom because of the way it was fitted by a previous owner and I'm done now.

DH does still like this place and he was upset when he realised my feelings on this place and would be willing to move if needs be. If you were me what would you do? I just see this place as a soul-sucking money pit now and I'm doubtful about ever coming back mentally from everything that's happened.

Can you take a holiday or some time away from home and see how you feel when you return?
