How my move turned out!

I'm happy for you. I also admire your attitude that everything will work out in the end, I wish I had more of that attitude. Let's hope you inspire many more people by following your heart and being true to yourself you can't go wrong.

Well done you! ??????

Am so pleased everything worked out well for you ?

Hopefully you’ll be able to renew your contract if not, then you could always travel round the country trying different areas.

We are all different and what works for one person may not work for another. For me, I like certainty so would find it worrying that I may not be able to renew my contract. That, together with service charges/ground rent would worry me I know. I guess if you have a good management company/landlord then it shouldn’t be a problem.

Thank you for coming back to tell us - lovely to hear it all worked out well for you ?

Nice to hear a bit of positive feedback. So often issues or problems are aired on GN, advice is offered, but we never hear the outcome.

Pleased for you.

So pleased it all worked out- enjoy your planned trips !

That’s brilliant!
Happy for you.

By going to your son’s you had time to choose your flat and it sounds lovely.
You must be so pleased.
Wishing you good luck for the future.

It's good to hear you are happy and content in your new home stay positive.

That has worked out very well.
You live in London as do a few of us and before Covid we met regularly for coffee in Debenhams, Oxford Street but there are other GN meetings, depending on where you live.

I’m pleased it worked out for you, MissOoops has had to move 4 times in the last 8 years as the Landlord has either wanted to sell the property or the Landlord has moved back and wants to live in the house.

It’s been an awful lot of expense for her and it’s really messed up her Credit Rating.

Would that photo be in Woolwich?

That’s so lovely to hear GrannyRo.

Well done you. I wonder if I would be so brave - probably not.
So pleased it’s worked out for you and great to hear your positive attitude.

So pleased for you. Nice to have an update.
Beautiful sunset.

Thank you for letting us know - I value all the different points of view on this site.

Great to hear how well it's worked out for you.

I'm just about to do the same. I am downsizing. Have sold my house and keeping ? it all goes through ok.

My master plan is to rent for a while whilst I search for my next onward purchase. No hurry, because I want to get it right.

Yes, the picture is Woolwich, facing towards Woolwich Common.

I love your positive attitude and powers of personal risk assessment. Well done you. I'm delighted you are so happy with the outcome. Long may that continue. Good luck and thank you for the feedback. Very kind.

I thought so. I grew up there until I was 20, then onto Greenwich, before it became hideously expensive ?

Hope it all continues to go well for you! Travel while you can & enjoy the anticipation & adventures !

What a positive and inspiring story grannyro. Your flat sounds perfect for you and the view is wonderful. How exciting the future is for you.

I am in the process of doing exactly the same thing. Like DerbyshireLass the house in the country is sold and we hope to exchange contracts soon. The plan is to rent a lock up and leave in the buzz of the city. Then we plan to travel, hopefully doing some of it as 'house sitters' looking after peoples pets and homes whilst they're away which sounds fun and interesting. All a bit nerve wracking and fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants....but when I think about it I get a bubble of pure excitement.

Good luck with the move DerbyshireLass and good on you grannyro.
