is it on the ground floor, or if not, does it have a lift?
are you sure your daughter won't move in the future; that often happens for job opportunities.

My sister very upset when I told her but she says if I really want to, go ahead not to worry about her. I just feel so guilty at hurting her, I love her very much and I knew in my heart she would not be happy. Now I don't know what to do. I'd feel awful about letting the young couple down who want to exchange with me......they have children who need a garden and more space....if I decide not to go ahead. Also my daughter super excited at me being so close to her. The reality is I could up upsetting so many people and that's the last thing I want to do!!!!

Your DD wants you to go and your sister prefers you to stay. What do you want? Think about your own needs and if you feel happy to go then do it.

Follow your heart but perhaps discuss it with your sister.

Is it a downstairs flat ?
30 mins is nothing is it ?
If you want to move then it’s sounds fine is it on a bus route in case you can’t drive later ?

I would make the most of the here and now travelasfar the flat sounds good if you are happy with the change from a house. Provided there are all the facilities you need close by I say go for it. You are still quite close to your sister although I take the point about driving. Good luck

Have the chance to do house exchange from my 3 bed to a nearly new 2 bed flat with wrap around balcony....its on the corner of a 3 storey high. It runs parallel to the block where my DD lives with the same street name and postcode. If I decide to go it means leaving my beloved sister behind in the town we both live in. She has a partner and her daughter also lives here. I just feel guilty that I'm even contemplating this move. My Sister and I meet every Saturday morning and when she has time of work we see each other. I'd be moving 30mins drive away to next town which is OK while we both can drive so our meet up could continue. I know when she retires in a couple of years she has said she'd be round every day and we could do things together I feel I'm betraying her but my daughter wants me nearer to her so as I age she can help me. What would you do???
