Thinking about moving and looking at houses on Rightmove is great and I love it, but actually moving is a right stressful pain in the arse.
Same with renovation, thinking about it is good fun, the end product is (hopefully) really rewarding and satisfying, but there's a huge heap of a shit bit in between.
My concern would be that doing all that but ending up in a slightly smaller place in a similar location might not seem worth it unless there's a real, tangible difference in lifestyle or mindset that the move facilitates.

EA came around yesterday and said he could sell our place within 4 weeks for 0.75% (which seems a super low fee).
He said he'd recommend putting it on for offers over £x and expect to get somewhere around x+5% to x+10% "depending on how many people from Hackney are trying to buy it" lol.
So far so good. Now just have to decide if we really cba to move and if so, to where. I'm starting to feel some anxiety at the prospect of being more than 10 mins walk from the victoria line. Is that a bit like moving to watford or something?!
I've only seen a couple of places that I vaguely like, one is over budget and the other needs a huge amount of work...
