Hello all,
Been renting in the private sector my whole life. Got on council list eventually and after years of bidding finally made it into band b.
I am very happy in my private rental but nervous that I will be evicted again so started bidding on properties that were slightly below my needs (2bed) I have 2 kids.
I have been bidding but not thinking I will get anything soon then got to no 2 on a nice property, not my ideal - garden/house but in a lovely area.
Then low and behold no other bidders and I got offered the flat.
I have been panicking so much whether to take it or wait for a 3 bed with garden but I’ve no medical needs for garden.
I was hoping my landlady would say that my current property would be getting a rent increase or she may want it soon, which would help me make my mind up but she said no rush and no rent increase.
I've agonised for 2 months and eventually couldn’t agree to reject in which case I got the keys.
Really overwhelmed if I have made the right decision to take this now. We love our rental, kids, cats, neighbours, garden, area, but I’m scared this is a great offer.
please any thoughts would be helpful. I feel like I’m having a nervous breakdown.
